-The Newmarket Mules and Nashua Titans have completed a big trade this week. The Mules send P's Dan Zimmerman and Pablo Contreras to Nashua in exchange for 27 year old lefthanded pitcher Juan Jose Fernandez, and top minor league prospect 3B/1B Pablo Alvarez. Fernandez was 2-1 with a 2.57 ERA in five starts for the Titans this year. He has pitched 35 innings, allowing 31 hits, while walking six and striking out 31. Last year he just 11-18 at AAA, but posted a 2.85 ERA in 33 starts. the 22 year old Alvarez was hitting .323 with one homerun and 27 RBI. Alvarez won't hit for much power, but he should be good for 30 doubles, 70 walks and a .300 average. He also has a little bit of speed, stealing eight bases on the year. He is projected to be the Mules starting 1B next season. Going to Nashua is Zimmerman, who has been wildly inconsistent this year, posting a 5-3 mark with a 3.49 ERA and Contreras who was 0-0 with a 0.87 ERA in 11 games. Zimmerman was 8-2 with a 3.09 ERA, but has suffered through injuries both in 2008 and 2009.

-The Mules have also finalized a three year contract extension with 1B/OF Fernando Peralta. The 34 year old Peralta, while injury prone, is a excellent bat when he is in there. The deal calls for Fernando to become the Mules highest paid player, making just over $3.1 million dollars a year for the next three seasons. The deal also includes a no trade clause that should keep Peralta in Newmarket until his 37th birthday. He is currently on the DL, but is having his best offensive season, hitting .324 with five homeruns and 18 RBI to go along with 13 doubles and two triples.

-Dover trades RP Steve MacFadden to the Portland Bulldogs for minor league 1B Juan Martinez. MacFadden has struggled this year, going 1-3 with a 6.94 ERA in 13 games for the Green Wave. He has pitched 23 1/3 innings, allowing 27 hits and 13 walks with 22 strikeouts and one save. Coming back to Dover is the 23 year old Martinez, who is hitting .231 with 5 homeruns and 20 RBI at AA Atlanta.

-The Gloucester Fishermen have made an odd trade, sending 26 year old starting C, Ling-lai Dee to the Salem Witches for 41 year old OF Dana Baker. Dee is having a nice year, hitting .319 with 6 homeruns and 18 RBI in 113 AB's after spending all of 2009 in AAA, where he hit .301 with 16 homeruns and 68 RBI along with 29 doubles. Baker is currently hitting .245 with two homeruns and seven RBI in 49 AB's for Salem.

Next up for the Mules are eight games on the road, the first four in Augusta against the Moose, followed by four in Portland against the Bulldogs!
