Despite winning their 3rd Perfect League championship in the last 5 seasons, the Oakland Athletics have decided to make a change in center field going into the 2048 season.
93 rated Ichiro Suzuki has taken over for 96 rated Bryce Harper who has been demoted to the reserve roster. The move is expected to add an extra 2 wins per season for the Athletics.
In order to make this move, the Athletics traded away roster reserves of 96 Ted Williams and 97 Christy Mathewson. Losing these players shouldn't hurt the Athletics as Williams had never suited up for the team and Mathewson hadn't suited up in 4 seasons. The Athletics wish these players the best on their new teams.
