NALB - 2009 Offseason

Probably the biggest trade in the offseason was between the Nashville Firecats and the Luisville Beasts. The Beasts sent 25 year old first baseman Pete Porter to the Firecats in exchange for 37 year old right fielder Atlee Deleon.

Here were some of the big money offseason signings:

• The Cornfield Axemen signed 37 year old left fielder Dee Fletcher to a two year extension at $8,157,600 per year.
• The Firecats signed free agent first baseman Paul Lyons to a three year deal worth $31,080,000.
• The Firecats agreed to terms with free agent Ricky Agganis, a former member of the Axemen. His new contract is for $48.93 million over six years.
• Richmond Slam officials hailed the signing of starting pitcher Walter Sheehan as “an integral piece to our championship puzzle.” Sheehan will pocket $12,880,000 over two years.
• Cornfield fans and team officials celebrated the signing of Brian Hamburg. The 37 year old veteran center fielder settled on the Axemen after receiving their offer for $27,120,000 over three years.
• Floyd Minoso inked a deal that will keep the seasoned veteran in the bullpen of the Stade Maples for another two years. The terms were for $4,315,700 per year.
• The Phoenix Rattlers signed star reliever Gil Brown to a one year contract for $4,099,400.
