Roadrunners-Colts make first trade of offseason

The first trade of the 2010 season was made today, as the Edinburg Roadrunners traded RHP Bryan Heaston to the San Angelo Colts for OF Selwyn Langaigne and IF Richard Paz.

Both Langaigne and Paz joined San Angelo down the stretch drive in 2009, and helped the Colts to within one win of the United League Championship. Both are 16-year veterans.

Heaston joins the Colts after spending last season with the Edinburg Roadrunners. He's a six year vet who spent the last four years in the Valley.

I talked with Broncos GM Jose Melendez via email today, and he said he will be overhauling the roster. He said the team is about 3 weeks away from announcing a new field manager, and afterward a flurry of roster moves are expected.

Here's his thoughts on today's trade: "That was a great trade for Edinburg. San Angelo just gave them away. Paz and Langaigne are tremendous players. I just don’t know how both can fit in the salary cap for the whole season."

He did emphasize that he expects the Broncos to be active "very soon."
