 | Republic Swap Fraser to Berserkers for Sweet Thursday, August 1st, 2013: It came down to the last hour of a self-imposed trade deadline, but the So Cal Republic and Minnesota Berserkers finally came to an agreement on a trade that had been rumored for weeks. The trade sends So Cal's 28-year-old right fielder Rich Fraser, 23-year-old minor league starting pitcher Jaime Hernández and 23-year-old minor league reliever Pablo Meléndez to Minnesota in a swap for 27-year-old right fielder Rich Sweet. Both GMs seemed relieved that the deal had been completed with one stating, "We had to set a deadline to get it done." The players are expected to report to their new teams by tomorrow. Fraser is currently batting .277 with 9 home runs and 46 RBIs. Sweet is currently hitting at a .300 pace with 23 home runs and 70 RBIs. |   |
