Goldeyes swap Pope for Dando

Continuing on from last week's pitching shake-up, the Goldeyes sent RHP/middle reliever Mark Pope to Texas in exchange for Zach Dando on Jan. 12. Dando's also a righty. It's also come to light that the releases of Hernandez, Jackson and Mincey last week were all due to retirements--something that makes the move a little easier to understand for the fans.
