SAINTS TRADE FOR CATCHER

March 22nd, 1926, West Palm Beach, Florida

This morning the Saints announced that they have struck a deal with the New York Gothams. Montreal will send young outfielder Johnny Branson (.254/.319/.460 in 45 games at Evansville (A)) in exchange for veteran catcher Paul Tattersall (.289/.341/.486, 12, 47 in 77 games for the Gothams).

Paul Tattersall

The 34 year old Tattersall is expected to split playing duties with 36 year old Sam Sanderson. The addition of Tattersall gives the Saints the two most prolific home run hitting catchers in FABL history. Tattersall debuted as a 16 year old for Brooklyn in 1908 and handled the catching duties for the Kings until being traded to the Gothams in 1924. Tattersall has 177 career home runs, while Sanderson has 119.

Tattersall is certainly not a long term answer at catcher for the Saints. But fans are excited and there is definitely quite a bit of interest to see the power duo in action behind the plate for Montreal.
