As part of a three-team deal that brings starting pitcher Erik Bedard and minor-league pitcher Josh Fields to the Red Sox, 3 Sea Dogs players have been been traded away. Outfielder Chih-Hsien Chiang, along with pitcher Juan Rodriguez from Single-A Greenville, have been sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Catcher Tim Federowicz and pitcher Stephen Fife have been sent to the Seattle Mariners.
All 3 players have been key cogs for the Sea Dogs this season. Chiang and Fife were both Eastern League All-Stars, and Chiang played in the MLB Futures Game as part of All-Star weekend in Arizona.
Chiang was leading the Sea Dogs in many categories this season, including batting average, RBIs, and doubles. His 76 RBIs were tops in the Eastern League. He leaves the Sea Dogs organization with a franchise record 72 doubles.
Fife leads the Eastern League in wins with 11. His 11-4 record was tops among Sea Dogs pitchers. In 103 1/3 innings pitched, he had 70 strikeouts and a 3.66 ERA.
Federowicz had a batting line of .277 average, 8 home runs, and 52 RBIs. He finished off his Sea Dogs career in style, going 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 RBIs in the Sea Dogs 8-5 win Sunday against the Altoona Curve.
