Manager Report Trade and MLB news
GM Moore has been scouring the trade market looking for two things, one an upgrade to his current staff that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, or second move some overage players to unclog the pipeline in the minors. GM Moore found the latter in a deal with Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo.
OF/IF Nick Franklin has cooled off considerably at MLB level, and with our "project player" LF/1B Ryon Healy getting accustomed to playing LF, the trade permits his callup to see what he has to offer.
Washington parts with a minor league RHP Jhon Romero, a young reliever that I see as possibly turning into a starter. Pitching coach Joel Hanrahan feels he will be a good middle reliever and doubts from scouting that he can make the transition.
