Chicago Iron Pig Player Rep Wesley Morgan had this to say.

"I don't know bro, I just want to hit man, ya know?"

"It's like this, we want the best baseball in the world, we want the best players, but we also know we did this for the love of the game, not the money bro. Ya can't take it with you dude."

When asked what that meant, exactly...

"Dude, we're going to let some MLB dudes in, but it's going to be with x-ray vish....errr... you know parent guidance"

Supervision?

"Ya dude, that! We're going to control who we let in dude, and how it all flows man"

After speaking to other reps we spoke with Cy May of the Houston Roughriders.

"Basically we believe there are two very wealthy and very able owners that would put the money up now, for a chance to field a team next year. Off the record I would tell you the Cuban dude is a lock, and he wants to put his team...Wait for it.... IN GREEN BAY! Ha! Can you believe that guy?"

From our sources it appears that Green Bay will receive a franchise and there's discussions around allowing fans, worldwide, to vote on the 2nd franchise as a certain airline owner has said he'll inject the entire cost of league wide travel as part of his entry fee, for 10 years. He doesn't care where his franchise is. So there's *POSSIBLE* discussions about a team outside the U.S.

As for the players, MLB players are furious, and asking the government to step in once again and allow them free reign to enter the IBL.

As it stands now the IBL is talking about a number of players, not 40 man roster players, allowed entry into the IBL draft each year (the number is thought to be around 10 at last conversation). As well as each expansion club being allowed to start their roster with up to 5 former major leaguers, of any age.

The players, MLB, have agreed that to enter this league they would, if they possess more MLB service time than any current IBL players, have their service time rolled back to not exceed any current players in the IBL.
