[USML Announce] MLB News - prospects

[Andy Klein]

... and Joe Smith to the Cubs?  Clearly K9 players are popular.

Commissioner Blocker:  Once the Smith trade is final, I'll waive him and
request a FAAB adjustment.  As Smith was acquired during the rotation
draft, I get the full $10, right?

>> 7.  Anthony Alford
