Paris trade
Paris, not a team that heavily trades, made a deal to acquire depth in the Starting Pitcher department. Despite having the best overall starting pitching, Paris picked up disgruntled veteran John Huchet in exchange for promising first baseman, 23 year old Jean Francois.
Huchet is in the last year of his contract so the 36 year old is likely to finish the season in Paris and head to free agency. His lifetime 135 - 163 record is somewhat pedestrian, but his 2.61 FIP during the present season was enough to take a chance on the vet. With 4 quality pitches he is less a risk and more an asset.
