Trade:   for Butler
You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you find a deal anyway. The Baseball News Network is reporting that <Arizona:team#6> and <New York:team#78> have made a swap with a 3rd round draft pick being shipped to the Twin Towers and in return the Vipers would get 33-year old LHP <Stan Butler:player#3475>.

<Arizona:team#6> general manager <Alex Cumana:manager#70> said the two sides were close to a blockbuster trade before agreeing upon a smaller scale transaction.

"This is just a bit of housekeeping compared to what we wanted to do," he said. "I won't name names, but the potential deal we were close to making would have certainly grabbed some headlines."

A source inside the <Arizona:team#6> organization said the two sides might not be done dealing, and another transaction could be in the works.


In 11 starts this season <Butler:player#3475> has registered a 6-3 record and a 4.01 ERA.
