Niihama-shi and Statesmen Trade
The Ghosts confirm the deal.
Did a lot to begin solidifying the roster come the 2021 merger.
A shame too, I was looking forward to seeing Takeuchi play, but I couldn't pass this deal up.
Thanks Mark, I hope he works out for you.

Very interesting. Takeuchi is a star's star, but he's due to get seriously paid soon. Three good young players in return is probably a good thing overall...but fans are going to have to be a bit depressed. :)

Re: Niihama-shi and Statesmen Trade
Big name LRS star coming to PEBA! Statesmen scored the 2nd fewest runs in the IL last year, so this should help quite a bit.

Re: Niihama-shi and Statesmen Trade
Yeah I needed a power hitter badly, and with so Many OF talent is was easy to let Meade go. Meade will be a star no doubt. But proven power is what was needed.
