The Winter Meetings ended without me trading Bill Hancock. I shopped him around, but just didn’t receive any offers worth pursuing very far. He has only ever played shortstop in the Big Leagues, but perhaps we will have him get some work in at Second Base during Spring Training. Give us, and him, some flexibility then.
I did get a couple trade offers that led to some further discussions, but ultimately no deal was reached.
The first one was from the Houston Buffaloes. Billy Weeks, their GM, approached me with an offer that revolved around them sending 31-year-old reliever Ossie Torres in return for 24-year-old minor league RHP Mike Stokes, 21-year-old minor league RHP Bob Stone, and 23-year-old minor league LHP Israel Valencia.
Then Billy Weeks, the Atlanta Thrashers GM, reached out about a potential deal. His initial offer was Theodore Walden for Single A 1B Bill Kennedy and AA SP Israel Valencia. We eventually worked out an agreement for the trade I noted above.
