Trade between KAL and BAK

[Cole]

Bakersfield receives:
RF - Stephen Hooper (A)
MR - Jorge Fierro (ML)

Kalamazoo receives:
SP - Phil Anderson (ML)
2B - Manuel Núñez (AA)

Hopefully a win-win. Bakersfield gets two young talents that could end up really helping them down the road. Meanwhile, Kalamazoo gets a young pitching talent who has proven himself in the past few years in Bakersfield, but will get the chance to step out of the shadows of the Bears aces to be a top pitcher of his own in Kalamazoo in attempting to get the Badgers to their first postseason since 2007.

This allows me to solidify my starting rotation and also get a player in Nunez who may one day soon be able to contribute at the major league level.

Hooper is one of my top prospects, but I have to take the game on dealing him away in hopes of cashing in on this very winnable division I find myself in.

I presume this trade can be input before we get a new file released, but if not, please move Jorge Jimenez into my bullpen in a long relief role and please put Phil Anderson into the number 3 role in my depth chart.

Thank you Jon for an enjoyable, albeit long, negotiation. And thanks Aric for stepping up to get the thing finalized now that we're past the draft!

[Ghosts]

Bears confirm.

I am glad we were finally able to finish this deal. It was a pleasure dealing with Cole.

[Cole]

Please put Anderson into the 3rd (open) spot in my starting rotation with the ML squad.

Please put Nunez into the open spot (2B) in my depth chart and lineup on my AA team (Hamilton Industrialists)

Thanks.
