LOS ANGELES, CA. — Before Marauders co-owner Binh Tran stepped onto a plane for a vacation in China, he spent some time in the office with his star player.

"I talked with Patty this morning and assured her that I share her frustration and, more importantly, I assured her that we will continue to pursue every avenue possible to improve our team with her as the backstop."

Trinidad has shown resentment towards management ever since she was asked to play catcher for the Keck School "XXY's", which forced her to take part in handing the Marauders their first loss of the season. Trade rumors have swirled at MAPP headquarters, but Tran seems confident that his prized signal-caller won't be leaving the team.

"I told her that we will keep her apprised of our progress and we agreed that we will talk again in the very near future."

In other words, Trinidad's not going anywhere, even if things are still unsteady when Tran returns from a three-week vacation that begins in Shanghai.
