Phantoms-Destroyers Swap: Trani for Qiu Sunday, June 25th , 2084 It likely won't turn either team into an instant contender or provide a huge franchise shakeup, but the Chicago Phantoms and San Diego Destroyers finalized a trade today. Chicago will send 19-year old 2B Jou Nishimura, 21-year old 2B Aaron Trani, 32-year old LHP Juzo Matsumoto, 22-year old RF Rick Brace, and a 4th round draft pick to the Destroyers, while the Phantoms will receive 25-year old 1B Lan-quing Qiu. "We think this is a deal that will help out both teams and we're glad to get it done," Phantoms general manager Sam J said. The trade is expected to be officially completed later today with the players joining their new ballclubs by the end of the day. Thus far this year, Qiu has hit .321 with 8 home runs and 36 RBIs. |
