Sledge Hammer!

Balance of Power Shifts in NL East.

According to unnamed sources with no knowledge of the situation, the Washington Nationals have traded top prospect Jordan Zimmermann along with Dmitri Young to the Nippon Ham Fighters of the Japanese professional baseball league for Terrmel Sledge. The move returns Sledge, who hit the first home run in the history of the Washington Nationals, to DC. Stan Kasten unavailable for comment.

@Harper - yes, it seemed like a perfect fit. And if Ray King were still around, he probably would've been thrown in, too.

@1/2: Sorry about that...
