The St. Louis River Walkers have traded left-handed reliever Greg Sones and right-handed reliever Jason Akers to the Des Moines Harvesters in exchange for minor-league catcher Travis Benson.
Benson, 23, spent the 2038 season at Class A where he hit .242 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 46 games (45 starts).
A 14th-round pick in the 2035 draft by Cleveland, Benson was dealt to the Harvesters in November of 2037.
Sones, 30, was acquired by the Walkers in a July 27, 2033 trade with Cleveland.
He made the majors to start the 2034 campaign and had strong campaign in 2036 and 2037 before things went south in 2038.
In 28 games with the Walkers in 2038, Sones went 0-3 with a 9.95 ERA.
He wasn't much better at AAA Memphis, where in 21 games he was 0-2 with five saves and a 6.41 ERA.
For his major-league career, Sones has pitched in 224 games (all in relief) and gone 12-14 with 11 saves and a 3.78 ERA.
Akers, 27, was taken by St. Louis in the 15th round of the 2030 draft.
He spent the entire 2038 season at AAA Memphis, where he was 1-0 with one save in 33 games posting a 3.78 ERA.
