Arizona Vipers Ship Stubbs to Maryland
It took some time to iron out the details, but the Vipers and Bridegrooms have agreed to a swap. <Maryland:team#76> will get 20-year-old  minor league CF <Jamie Stubbs:player#7288>, 20-year-old  minor league RHP <Hang-fu Che:player#10350> and a 2nd round draft pick with <Arizona:team#6> receiving 32-year-old RHP <Jeff Locke:player#1291> in return. A source close to the trade talks said the two clubs were initially looking to make a bigger deal, but discussions broke off late last night. The two sides reconvened early today and eventually settled on this deal.


<Locke:player#1291>'s career stats include a 82-72 record, 1428 innings, 1501 strikeouts, and a 3.21 ERA.
