Subject: Done Deal -- Gonzalez for Jeansonne

The players apparently knew they were on the trading block, so it did not surprise one of them when he learned that he had been traded to Tennessee. "Got my bags packed already," he said, when reached for comment. The Motors will receive 33-year-old starting pitcher Jim Jeansonne, while 33-year-old right fielder Danny Gonzalez will go to the Tennessee Smokies.

This year Gonzalez has socked 35 hits in 155 at-bats for a .226 average with no home runs. He is getting on base at a .259 pace and his totals also include 11 RBIs and 13 runs scored.

So far this year Jeansonne has a 6-3 record with a 2.92 ERA.

When reached for comment, Motors GM Jason Jackson said the following:

"Danny had made it very clear he was not satisfied being our fourth outfielder and that he deserved to be a top of the lineup player and everyday outfielder. With our depth in the outfield with Money (Rodrigo Miranda) and Luxie and Jesse, and how well Adam Penney has played -- there was no way we could turn down a left-handed starter and leader like Jim Jeansonne."

Jackson continued, "Danny did not let his displeasure invade the clubhouse, but we could tell by his performance that the situation was wearing on him. Tennessee will give him the chance to be that top-of-the-lineup presence, so it should be a win-win for all parties."

Starting pitcher Nick Faust was sent down to Dev A Westland to keep pitching as a starter, and be ready in case of injury. OF/1B Kevin Hyatt was recalled from Westland to fill the outfielder spot vacated by Gonzalez.
