PVBL: Edmonton Oilers
Salmon on the Block

April 12, 1998

Edmonton Oil King GM Brian Sculac has finally decided to listen to the fans and the critics. All of last season he was blasted for not dealing for a quality starting pitcher. It seems he's finally gotten the hint. " I really thought we would be okay with what we have, but clearly that isn't the case. I am officially putting Tim Salmon on the block. With RF Vladdie Guerrero waiting in the wings for a shot in right, I feel the time is right for the Oil Kings to make a move. We will only be looking for a star, quality pitcher for Tim. Tim has been a super guy in this organization, and we will be sad to see him go." With that, GM Sculac stormed out of the Press Conference.
