Brooklyn ships LHP Mark Buehrle to Pottsylvania. The Moab GM, Eric J. Caskey suggests a steal. Brooklyn shed $13 Million in overall salary, while adding a mere 1.2 in Aki Iwamura. In addition to the utilityman, Brooklyn acquires two midround picks. Brooklyn picks up a 5th round pick and 7th round pick. Now, Brooklyn has two 1st rounder, two 4th rounders, two 5th rounders and gets back into the 7th round. "Aki will provide a much needed utility between 3rd and 2nd base, and provide as a defensive replacement for Miguel Cabrera late in games," stated Caskey.
Buehrle, on the other hand was not as happy: "First Edgar is traded to Frostbite, now I am traded to Pottsylvania? Where are these places? Is this some kind of joke?" The Moabs have stated repeatedly that the organization will forever be indebted to Mark Buehrle and Derrek Lee for their service to the organization.
