Felipe Lopez Gone - Reno Aces get Better

Well the good news as the Dbacks start to sell off their top players for prospects is that the Reno Aces - the Dbacks Triple-A team, are going to get real good. Brandon Allen has already helped the team since coming over from the White Sox organization in the Pena trade. Now the Aces retain the services of outfielder Cole Gillespie.

Right-handed pitcher Roque Mercedes, also acquired in the trade for Lopez, will most likely be sent to Double-A Mobile. Mercedes is a reliever, something the Dbacks disparately need.
