Off Season Summary
The big news for the Mallards in the off season was the trade of S. Hubbard to Jacksonville for SP Jose Souza. S. Hubbard was a contract that I had been looking to unload for quite some time. I did pick up an additional two years of payroll at $15 million, and I certainly hope that it will be money well spent, but only time will tell.
The Big Movers in the offseason were by WAR gained/lost:
1. Austin +13.4
2. Fresno +12.0
