According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the Numenor Kings and the Moria Miners. As part of the deal, the Kings swapped 26-year old LF Fomige Rubyeye and 23-year old RHP Darron Oathworker to the Miners getting 25-year old LHP Halpaeril Moonsbreath in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team.
Rubyeye has batted .269 for his career with 376 hits, 117 doubles, 1 triple, 55 home runs, and 196 RBIs.
Since joining the league, Moonsbreath has compiled an ERA of 3.67 with a career record of 33-24. He has 460 strikeouts in 485.1 innings and has held opponents to a .237 batting average.
