HARTFORD - The Hartford Whalers acquired CF Jesse Perrigo from the Memphis Express for a minor league outfielder and promoted him to the majors, making him the final player from the Continental League era to be promoted the the majors. "I'm excited to finally be a big leaguer," said Perrigo, who was expected to start in July 2nd game for the Whalers. "Hopefully, along with J. Hanley, who came from the CL, we can show these guys what's its like in the hard life." he said.
Whalers first baseman and constant trade rumors swirl around 1B Jordan Hanley who is rumored to be one of the players on the block before the July 31st trade deadline.
"We're not going to send Jordan anywhere. He's part of our future here in Hartford," said Colby Sawyer, Whalers GM.
