It seems the Yakult Swallows pulled off another trade for another arm, this time with the Seibu Lions.
The Swallows will reportedly sent 28-year-old catcher Tomohito Yoneno to the Lions for 27-year-old right-handed pitcher Minoru Yamagishi.
With Ginjiro hurt, the Lions were looking for some insurance at their catching position. The Swallows continue to strengthen their pitching staff.
