2 February 2297 - The Slog-Fairline Hill Estates Trade
The Slog and Fairline Hill Estates announced today in a joint press conference that 31-year-old 1B Shawn Synthman and 19-year-old minor league RHP Peak Sizeman will be going to the Yao Guai in exchange for 35-year-old RHP Wonder Boy Fultz.
"I didn’t wake up expecting this," Fultz said. "I just built a nice shack for my wife and kids just outside Fairline Hill just last month. Maybe I’ll go for ball and my wife and kids can stay here."
Fultz appeared in 24 games for the Yao Guai in 2296. The 23rd-round pick in the Inaugural Draft, the 35-year-old was 3-3 with a 5.71 ERA in 34.2 innings pitched. He is expected to take over the closer role for the Ghouls.
Synthman saw limited action in 2296 with the champion Ghouls. In 10 games as a backup second baseman, he was 3 for 9 with a triple, two runs scored, and two RBI. He was selected in the 25th round of the Inaugural Draft by The Slog.
Sizeman was a second-round pick of the Ghouls in the 2296 Rookie Draft, the 42nd pick overall. He was expected to be the closer for the minor league team, the Outpost Zimonja Strongbacks of the Dark Hollow Pond League, which now looks to be the Eastlake Aquaboys of the Glowing Sea League.
