Cubs Acquire P Jim Brower

[reds44]

From the Reds

Today the Reds sold the contract of minor league RHP Tom Shearn to the Samsung Lions of the Korean Professional League and traded to the Cubs minor league RHP Jim Brower in exchange for cash considerations. Both were non-roster invitees to Major League spring training camp.

 

Shearn went 6-2, 4.53 in 10 starts for Class AAA Louisville (57.2ip, 60h, 15bb, 31k, 8hr).

 

Brower went 0-1, 2.88 with 2 saves in 17 relief apps for Louisville (25ip, 27h, 11bb, 28k, 1hr).

Wasn't Shearn the old guy who made his MLB debut last year?

Yeah, he had a verbal agreement that if he ddin't make the majors by a certain date he would be sold to Korea. Justin Lehr had the same agreement (and was sold to Korea), except his was in writing.

The sponsorship of Brower's BR page is bizarrely hilarious.
