27 March 2296 - Jamaica Plain-Warwick Trade: Okoro for Grille
The Baseball News Network, a division of the BosCom News Network, is reporting that the Red Rockets and Mirelurks have consummated a trade. Warwick will receive 18-year-old minor league LF Mut Okoro in a swap for 25-year-old LHP Mike Grille. A league analyst called the trade a "fairly even transaction."
Okoro, a 17th-round pick in the Inaugural Draft, played in just seven games in 2296. In eight at bats, he was 5 for 8 with a double, a run, and two RBI.
Grille was Warwick's 19th-round pick in the 2296 Inaugural Draft. In four relief appearances, he compiled a 1-0 record with a 7.50 ERA. He pitched 6.0 innings, allowing five earned runs on six hits with four walks and five strikeouts.
Each player is expected to have a shot to make the CBO roster in 2297 for his new team.
