A trade falls into our laps in the first week of the season when the Giants show interest in Bob Fisher. After perhaps the shortest negotiation I’ve been involved in, the following deal is made:
TRADE 1 OF 5 (04/20/18)
2B Bob Fisher traded to New York (NL) for IF / OF Spotswood Poles.
Spot is a handy switch-hitter who plays excellent defence at a variety of infield and outfield spots and moves us somewhat toward the flexibility we seek. He’s a bit weak at 3B, but I have my eye on another player who should fill that gap...
... and so, while the pen is still hot, I make that move as well:
TRADE 2 OF 5 (04/20/18)
OF Frank Walker and P Bunny Hearn traded to Chicago (NL) for IF Ernie Johnson, P Al Gould and P Oscar Horstmann.
Ernie, acquired purely to shore up our infield depth, will come onto the AR with Zaza Harvey unfortunately off to the RR to make room.
Forgot to post a team pic on OD, here's the updated one.
