Hartford Receives:
P Kata Nakamura
Shin Seiki receives:
RF John Howe
Need to improve my pitching for a playoff push. Hopefully Nakamura can have a better second half, regardless he is still an upgrade for half of a season.

Confirmed.
Nakamura is apparently just not a fit for my park. I'm going from memory here but I think his ERA at home is something like 6.80. Awful. He's been a total bust. Which is very disappointing considering the king's ransom I paid to get him. Oh well. Hopefully he makes a recovery for Hartford.
This move will save me about $7M, which helps. I've really been pushing things on the money front in 2025. It'll be good to get a little breathing room back
Howe should also be a nice RH platoon player/ 4th OF. Plus he's young and cheap.
