THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE S-20 #4

TRADES

The ARIZONA COBRAS traded Felix Ming and Bob Hines to the MEMPHIS BLUES for Albert Mendoza and 5,000,000
Mendoza had a great run in Memphis. Now the All-Star CF will finish the year in Arizona and maybe look to free agency next year. The Blues got a good CF prospect that was found money. Swish picked up Ming off the wire after Kumbia inexplicably released him. Swish threw in a good relief pitcher to sweeten the pot and make room on the 40.

The Cincinnati Red Light Districts traded Al Benitez and Ron Clayton to the Salem Salmonbellies for Alex Cornelius
Cincy picked up a former #2 overall pick and a damn fine Starting pitcher. Salem gets a solid M L pitcher and a very nice pitching prospect.

M L INJURIES

Trever Goodwin
Trever "Never" Goodwin is back on the DL. His bothersome MCL will keep him out for 3 weeks. Goodwin is not off to a good start with his new team.

Don Lim
We didn't see Don "out on a" Lim on the DL last year. He was on his best behavior knowing he might be a free agent this year. The Howlers rolled the dice, and now Out on a Lim will miss 2 weeks with a Fractured Leg. Shocking!!  Must have a bone regenerator from Star Trek.

Taylor Riggs
Taylor "The Game is" Riggs will miss a month with a MCL strain. Sometimes you win and Sometimes you don't .
