Welp Nation, we have our first trade!

So who is Rick Salgado? And how was he good enough to land us at Top 30 prospect who HAILS FROM MAINE?!? (Do Moose play baseball?)

Salgado is just 23, he's a 2-time all star and won a Silver Slugger who nobody cares about that. Anyway, he's a catcher and really good at that. So why trade him?

During the press conference, Grocers GM Parker Mills said "we had a chance to acquire a talent we felt like we could build around in Sinclair. This was a trade for a young kid that we thought who could help us. Salgado is a quality guy and we wish the best of luck."

So who is this J.J. Sinclair guy who played moose baseball growing up? Well he played college baseball at San Diego State. He apparently has a lot of upside, but outfielders are easier to find than catchers, especially catchers under 25, which explains why the San Francisco Peanuts were so willing to make this move.

Before we all go buying Sinclair jerseys, he's probably going to need at least one more year in the minors. He's never played above AA short of a brief AAA stint last year. He's only 21, so bringing him too soon would rush his development and for what reason? This team isn't very good at all.

So it'll be interesting to see what the ballclub decides to do with him, but in the meantime let's just say HEY WELCOME JJ!
