Charlotte gets Baker

The Charlotte Hawks shore up their bullpen by acquiring Orlando Baker from the Sluggers in exchange for pitcher Cameron Miller, shortstop Alfredo Carillo, and outfielder Carlos Quagmire.

Carillo immediately becomes the frontrunner for a starting shortstop job in Louisville. Quagmire gives the Sluggers a prospect to compete for a spot in their thin outfield.

Charlotte completes their offseason signings with veteran backups Bobby Rayburn (1.75 million) and Mateo Ozuna (1 million.)

The Sluggers sign Damon Nkik for 1 year, 1 million, as he attempts to prove he can still play after a terrible year in Miami. Louisville offers Nkik the best chance for playing time.
