Monterrey, Mexico
Season eight of Shoeless Joe hasn't been exactly what the Monterrey franchise has been expecting. A down year has fans restless, and the franchise higher-ups anxious to do anything to reverse their poor luck. They want to shake things up, and if the reports are true, that's exactly what they're going to do.
Sources are saying that Monterrey SP Hi Priest is on the verge of being dealt. The sources won't divulge just who the other team is, but we have the top three receipients of Hi Priest's services:
This move makes the most sense, as the defending champs would do just about anything to stay on top. Securing the services of Hi Priest would only cement their spot in the playoffs, and beyond.
We're hearing rumblings that Milwaukee could be primed to make a major move. The Naturals have the slimmest of leads in the AL North, and getting Hi Priest into their rotation will definitely separate themselves from Cincinnati and the rest of the pack.
Vancouver had started this season on fire, earning a sizeable lead in the AL West. However, they now find themselves looking up at Salem once again. It's definitely not too late, and getting Hi Priest into a Vancouver uniform would certainly help things out for the VooDoo.Of course, this is pure speculation.. but these teams are the best bet to land Hi Priest. Which ever of these teams that has the right prospects to deal Monterrey will land themselves one heck of a pitcher.
