MANCHESTER, NH -- The Boston Pilgrims have acquired Cole Hamels in exchange for Corey Dickerson. Team GM was quoted as saying, "Our projections show that Dickerson does not perform well outside of a humidor. Although Tropicana Field is enclosed, the relative humidity within the building doesn't reach 'humidor levels'." This trade signifies a change in philosophy of the franchise, and a willingness on the part of the Pilgrims to acquire old pitching.
