The Old Forest Merry Fellows and Chiba City Neuromancers are the top story in baseball circles today with a huge trade. The Merry Fellows will give up 26-year old SS Dugthak Heartkicker, 27-year old CF Kamer Evensta, and $75,000,000 in cash in return for 28-year old SS Mirthal Sil-Gal and 29-year old CF Iver Tussle.
“You have got to give up talent to get talent,” Old Forest GM Tom Bombadil told reporters. “Nobody just gives it away.”
Chiba City will retain a portion of Tussle’s remaining contract.
Heartkicker is hitting the ball at a .268 clip over his career. In 128 games he has delivered 107 hits, 16 home runs with 61 RBIs and scored 51 times.
