Sunshine Tidings Trades Gee for Dark's Steelbrother, Goonie
The rumor has been out there for a while now and today it was made official. The Sunshine Tidings Chemists have sent 25-year-old RHP Warren Gee to the Dark Bloodworms for 22-year-old 1B Trevor Steelbrother and 20-year-old LHP Charlie Goonie.
Gee has taken the mound for 26 relief appearances this season, nailing down no saves while notching a 0-0 record with a 3.00 ERA. The Dark reliever has limited opposing batters to a .261 batting average.
Goonie was a 5th-round draft pick by the Salem Witch Hats in the 2298 Rookie Draft. However, he was released before the season, moving on to the Bloodworms for the 2299 season where he remained on the reserve roster for the season.
Steelbrother was an undrafted free agent following the 2296 Rookie Draft where he was picked up by the Chemists. After being released previous to the 2299 season, he signed a one-year deal with Dark. In 77 games with 63 starts at 1B, Steelbrother batted .177 with 12 doubles, three home runs, 21 runs, and 25 RBI.
