July 19, 1999

Macon bids a fond farewell to their most productive player and one of the few who have stayed with the franchise from day one, Mo Vaughn. He is of to Hartford. In return, the Whoopie recieve, Aaron Sele, Damion Easley, Todd Oquendo and Hartford's #1 ammy pick.

In what is suspected to be the last in a series of trades, the Macon Whoopie sent Ed Sprague and Bernard Gilkey packing for Houston. In return, Macon recieved the speedster, Marquiss Grissom and Houston's first round Free Agent draft pick...Jose Oquendo said, "Well, I think I'm happy now. Unless somebody wants to take DeShields off our hands. He just doesn't play second base as well as I used to."
Macon's new lineup looks like this:
1. CF Grissom
2. LF Tony Gumbert
3. 2B Ray Lankford
4. RF Booger Jackson
5. 1B Darin Erstad
6. C Eli Marrero
