Outlaws deal McHugh to Los Altos

In another trade with a seemingly perennial trading partner, the Flagstaff Outlaws issued a press release stating that pitcher Collin McHugh was traded away to the Los Altos Undertakers in exchange for OF prospect Calvin Mitchell.

In a brief teleconference with reporters, Outlaws GM Greg Newgard had this to say about the deal: “We wish Collin all the luck in Los Altos next season. We’d always envisioned him as a starter, but it feels like he was making a transition to reliever and we didn’t want to pay 3.5M for a reliever at this time.”

The two deals have already shed 5M off the Outlaws books, giving them more flexibility down the road.
