Notes:
Berra was a move to fill out the Spartanburg roster due to injury. I have offer minor leagues contracts to some free agent batters and pitchers, all 20 Overall/20 Potential, due to a rash of injuries at the upper level of my minors. These players will be used to moved to other levels or released when the injured players return. I tried shopping CL
Steve Bedrosian and
Rawley to no avail. THe best offers I am getting are 20/20 guys. I added them,
RP
Tom Hume, RP
Dave Rozema, RP
Kent Tekulve,
Aguyao, LF [B]Greg Gross[/B, CF
Ron Roenicke and RF
Mike Easler to the trading block. Hopefully, I get some offers.
