The Chicago Whales came to an agreement to deal 18-year-old center fielder John Courtney to the Brooklyn Tip-Tops for 37-year-old catcher Loyd Brown earlier today. The deal is expected to be formally announced later this evening.

The Whales swapped 21-year-old starting pitcher Dan Stanley to the Wolverines getting 33-year-old right fielder Maynard Kish in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team.

So far this season Kish is hitting .296 with no home runs.
