Major Trade Includes North and Atkinson Friday, June 7th, 2019 After hours of negotiating and even a few ultimatums, the Republic and Hornets finally worked out a deal involving several high-profile players. The Hornets will receive 26-year-old starting pitcher Ed Lott, 24-year-old minor league starting pitcher Hitoshi Sato and 24-year-old minor league left fielder Odysseus North in exchange for 25-year-old starting pitcher Anthony Atkinson. Trade rumors had been swirling around these players for some time, but the move still raised eyebrows in both markets and around the league. This year Atkinson has recorded a 3-4 mark. In 12 starts he has fanned 55 batters in 68.2 innings with a 2.62 ERA. |
