PVBL: Deadwood Outlaws
Wettland Exchanged for Gwynn

June 17, 1998

Pending league approval, the Deadwood Outlaws have sent RF Tony Gwynn to Thunder Bay for RHP John Wettland.

Outlaw GM Philip Raisor, had this to say about the trade,"We've been trying to pick up a top level closer since we traded Jose Mesa away, and Wettland certainly is that..."

In the past two days, Deadwood has greatly improved what was one of the league's worst pitching staffs. In three trades, Deadwood has added RHP Scott Erickson, RHP Tom "Flash" Gordon, RHP Steve Reed, and RHP John Wettland.

Rumor has it that Deadwood is close to picking up yet another veteren pitcher for it's bullpen. Stay tuned for details.
