Miami Marlins trade for Cyclones’ Cespedes
As a professional baseball player, there is always the inevitability of being traded to another team. Unlike major league players who usually read about their rumored or impeding trade on the Internet or in the newspapers, trades for minor league players generally hit them like a bolt of lightning.
For Cyclone Ricardo Cespedes, that bolt of lightning hit on the evening of July 28 on the road at Lowell, Massachusetts after coming off the field in a highly contested 3-2 loss to the Lowell Spinners.
After the Lowell game, the New York Mets announced that the team had acquired the Miami Marlins’ 2016 All Star relief pitcher A. J. Ramos for two minor league prospects – current Cyclone centerfielder Ricardo Cespedes and former 2016 Cyclone pitcher Merandy Gonzalez.
