New York-Stockholm trade

In an effort to bolster its crummy bullpen, the upstart Knights sent two top prospects, SP Tim Nosal and SS Marvin Weist, along with their third-round pick in the 2005 draft, to Stockholm for closer Nate ("Don't call me Wooley") Skull.

Skull is reportedly unhappy to be leaving clean, polite, and reserved Scandinavia for New York City, where he has already been inundated by TV cameraman after arriving for his physical and questioned mercilessly by beat reporters about his notorious connections to multiple members of the Swedish bikini team. Indeed, one irate and bare-chested fan, decked out in full scull-and-cross-bones body-paint and now in police custody, threw rotten fish and modular furniture pieces at Skull as he walked through Kennedy Airport. The fan, who held a sign reading "Lent is out of his Skull," was apparently angry at the Knights for trading its future in a futile attempt to compete with what he sees as a vastly-superior Brooklyn team.

The Sluggers, meanwhile, were able to re-stock their farm system with the acquisitions of Nosal and Weist, and plan to use the third-round pick they acquired to draft five-time "world Strongest Man" Magnus ver Magnussen. "We believe this extra pick will allow us the flexibility to take a flyer on Magnus, assuming he's still on the board then," Sluggers owner/general manager Michael Weintruab said.
