-P Enrique Morales and the Peabody Tanners have agreed on a three year contract worth $798,000. The 30 year old lefthander is 8-7 with a 3.44 ERA in 20 starts for the Tanners on the year. He has thrown 143 1/3 innings, allowing 132 hits and 33 walks, while striking out 126 batters. He is 30-29 in his career, all three years with Peabody.

-Marblehead and C Stephen Hoffman have come to terms on a new two year deal, that will pay the 37 year old $5.8 million dollars. On the year, Hoffman is hitting .267 with 18 homeruns and 70 RBI in 93 games for the Magicians. His best year came in the inaugural season, when he hit .266 with 41 homeruns and 104 RBI and posting a 61/54 BB/K ratio.

-Manchester and 2B Pedro Gonzalez have signed their names to a two year contract worth just under $1.2 million dollars. The 27 year old Gonzalez is hitting .277 with 11 homeruns and 40 RBI on the year, and is a career .254 hitter in 1,068 at-bats.

-Marblehead has agreed on a two year extention with RP Bob Wiley this week that will pay the 33 year old $848,000. Wiley is having his best year out of the Magician bullpen, going 1-1 witha 2.48 ERA and two saves in 29 games. He has pitched 36 1/3 innings, allowing 29 hits and eight walks, while striking out 45.

-The Newmarket Mules have sent SP Wallace Harrison to the Salem Witches in exchange for a couple of relief pitchers, Edwin Boone and minor leaguer Mauro Vargas. The Mules were able to acquire the solid Boone due to his contract, which pays him over $5 million dollars this year. He was 0-0 with a 4.07 ERA and one save on the year in 18 games. He has pitched 24 innings, allowing 27 hits but has posted a 27/4 K/BB ratio. The 24 year old Vargas is a high risk high reward player, who can bring the heat at 97+. He was 4-3 with a 1.90 ERA and five saves at AAA this year. He had appeared in 27 games, covering 47 1/3 innings, where he allowed just 30 hits and eight walks while striking out 66. Both players will be slotted into the Mules bullpen behind John Coury and Ki-heung Song. Harrison had been pitching better, posting a 5-8 mark with a 4.59 ERA in 17 games, 16 starts for Newmarket. He had just pitched his best game of the year, going eight shutout innings against the Bangor Crusaders, so we decided to move him while his stock was high.

-Marblehead sends 26 year old C Carlos Cruz to the Augusta Moose for 28 year old SP Jose Guillermina. Cruz was hitting .258 with two homeruns and eight RBI in 87 AB for the Magicians, while Guillermina was 8-9 with a 3.72 ERA in 23 starts for the Moose.

As we head into the final three weeks of the year, Newmarket ends July with three games at home against the Portsmouth Clippers, followed by a three game set in Orono against the Red Riot. End of the Month stats and league standings are next though!
