Key Largo gambles to improve pitching staff

The Hurricanes made an interesting move Wednesday, June 13th, trading their 2019 1st rounder to Harlem for veteran starter Larry Kelleher and promising young arm Dontrell Rasnick. While it's possible that the Hurricanes actually needed to improve their offense more, the addition of the two new arms gets Virdell Madding back to the minors where he belongs and sends complete bust (Damn you Aaron) Gunner Bradfield packing. Of the departure of Bradfield, management said the following, "That one really hurts. Gunner showed so much promise. He strikes out better than a batter an inning with that ridiculous knuckler of his, but we could never convince him to abandon his fastball." Perhaps as a starter in Harlem he'll work out his issues, otherwise he'll just be another scrap heap project someone picks up near the end of FA each season, hoping for a turnaround.
Kelleher and Rasnick on the other hand should really improve the Hurricanes pitching. Kelleher has been a dominant ace at times in his career, and Rasnick has two very good pitches and the potential to start if needed. It may take time for the roles to settle out, but this trade signals that the Hurricanes are getting ready to make a run at it this year and more moves may be coming.
