Kazmir Rides the S.S. Express out of town

The S.S. Express have parted ways with failed free agent acquistion, SP Scott Kazmir, sending the lefty to WinOrLoseHitTheBooze for Nationals' sparkplug outfielder Nyjer Morgan.

This trade is now official and the corresponding roster moves have been made to S.S. Express and WinOrLoseHitTheBooze's roster pages.

Cain Shipped For Second Time This Offseason

Back in February, Matt Cain was the Master Batters newly acquired ace. Today SP Matt Cain ($13) was sent packing, along with RF Matt Joyce ($4) and a 5th round pick in the 2011 draft to the S.S. Express in exchange for 1B James Loney ($14/$12) and highly touted prospect SP Brian Matusz ($1) and the S.S. Express' 8th round pick in the 2011 draft.

Although Joyce could someday prove useful, he is an after thought at this point, so the deal is essentially saw the S.S. Express trade two-for-one, but receive a slight upgrade in draft picks.

2009 Fantasy Points Comparison:

Cain (625.50) vs. Loney (477) + Matusz (118)

This deal is now official and the corresponding roster moves have been made to the Master Batters and S.S. Express roster pages.
