Reynoso Shipped to Montreal for Younger Players July 31, 1999
KAMLOOPS-(CP)-Kamloops Bears GM Paul Glass made his first trade in the
PVBL today as 30 year old pitcher Armando Reynoso was sent to the
Montreal Royals in exchange for 3B prospect Bobby Smith, pitcher Luis
Andujar and the Royal's 1st round FA pick.
"I'm happy to come to Kamloops where hopefully I'll get to start more
than I was in Montreal. This team is going to be great in a few years
and I want to be here when we bring the playoffs to Canada," said
Andujar, the major player in this deal for Kamloops.
NEWS AND NOTES FROM B.C.
-The Bears played their first game in Kamloops yesterday. The game was
sold out and fans were climbing the monsterous trees behind the
bleachers to get a glimpse of the action. Too bad Telemaco blew the game
in the 9th...
-With Reynoso gone, Neagle is reportedly next in line to make the trip
to a contender. The Bears are apparently considering offers from three
interested parties...
-The contest to name the Kamloops franchise continues in B.C. The most
popular moniker so far is "Blazers", the name of a local minor league
hockey team. Kelloggs has also offered a reported $60 million dollars to
name the team the "Kamloops Fruit Loops". No news on whether Glass is
considering this deal...
