DOOMSDAY:GONE IN 60 SECONDS....

Homestead-The Pythons have started their fireworks early. In what is probably one of the largest blockbuster deals in the LP2 the Pythons found themselves making two deals in one night. In the First deal the Pythons have traded stud shortstop Jose Reyes, Fernando Rodney, Dan Johnson and Horacio Ramirez to the Knights in return for yet another 2nd round rookie pick and a 3rd round rookie pick, highly touted super prospect Matt Cain, Julio Lugo, Joe Nathan, Torii Hunter, Lyle Overbay and Freddy Garcia. "This is one of our biggest deals ever, although we are building for the future we still would like to atleast remain competitive, our goal this year is to finish atleast .500 and build on that momentum going into next year where we will hand out our staff to our young guns. We were very against dealing Jose Reyes since he is a fan favorite down here and we are completely enamored with his game but we just couldn't say no to this deal in which we fill many holes. All of the guys acquire will be in the major league club and will help achieve our short and long term goals. Matt Cain gives us a future rotation of Josh Johnson, Matt Cain, Zach Duke, Chien Ming Wang and perhaps Chuck James. We acqure more picks and now have five 2nd round rookie picks along with 2 more 3rd round rookie picks. We are extremely excited to welcome this guys to Homestead!"s aid Espinosa. Earlier the Pythons agreed to send M. Mulder and Ybor City's 3rd round rookie pick less then 24 hours of acquiring him to Sun City in return for slugger Carlos Lee and utitlity man Casey Blake. "We are hoping this deal will jumpstart a sluggish offense, we feel we have lost 46 games in part because of our offense. We are ecstatic to welcome Carlos Lee to South Beach!!" Perhaps with more to come this is Matt Treanor reporting live from Homestead.
