Independent Off-Season Heating Up

The Rockford Riverhawks opened the off-season trading on Wednesday, sending RHP Dane Towery to the Yuma Scorpions of the Golden League in return for RHP Chris Langlolis.  The swap came out pretty even on paper - both pitchers saw action in about 20 innings last year with ERAs around 2.00.

 The Gateway Grizzlies sold OF Chris Gibson to the St. Louis Cardinals.  Gibson's father is Bob Gibson, the Hall of Fame pitcher who won 251 games in 17 seasons for the Cardinals.

There are several players at the Traverse City Beach Bums drawing trade interest from around the country.  There are a few deals that are near completion and we should have some news for the Beach Bums Nation sometime next week.
