26 October 2296 - East Boston Prep-Finch Farm Trade: Grime for Evans
22-year-old LF Cody Grime will now be playing for the Finch Farm Four Leafs and 28-year-old starting LHP Montes Evans will be suiting up for the East Boston Prep Assaultrons. The trade was announced today at a press conference by club officials.
Grime was a backup outfielder for the Assaultrons. In 33 games, he only had 33 plate appearances. On the season, he was 7 for 26 for a .269 average with no home runs and six RBI. Grime was drafted in the 22nd round of the inaugural draft.
Evans is a surprising move for Finch Farm since he came on in the last four weeks of the regular season to look like a solid third starter to take the job from Josh Dude. In four games started, he had a record of 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA. He allowed nine earned runs on 28 hits in 34.0 innings pitched. In addition to the regular season, he pitched in four games in the playoffs, including three starts. He was 2-1 in those four games. Evans was drafted in the 26th round of the inaugural draft.
