ORG NEWS:
George Knox has a 2.5M option which appears to be a no-brainer, and we pick it up.

Our 2021 budget is 114 million, with 6.8 slotted for the draft. As of right now we're way over budget, by almost 15 million, and there will be some serious cutbacks to scouting and PD coming.

JOB NEWS AROUND THE LEAGUE:
Staten Island fired manager Paul Lee after his 1st full season on the job. He was let go by LA in 2019, took over late in the year and managed them to a 77-121 in his time. He made the playoffs with San Antonio (2014) and LA (2017) and is 684-694 lifetime.

Brooklyn axed manager Jose Solis after 2 seasons. Solis guided the Patriots to the playoffs 2 straight years, winning the 2014 world series, then came to Brooklyn as the bench coach before taking over in 2019. He's 340-308 lifetime.
Dayton fired manager Juilo Rivas after less than a season on the job. He took over early in the year and the club was 44-67 under him.

Michigan fired GM Jose Cedeno after just 1 year. Cedeno was the GM in Houston from 2015-2019 before coming over this past winter.

Boston axed the only manager in franchise history. Letting Carlos Castellanos go after 4 seasons at the helm. The team was 277-371 and many expected a near .500 finish this year. After their 70-92 record a change in direction has been asked for.

RUMOR MILL:
Word out of El Paso, if it's to be believed, is that the Diablos and Iron Pigs are talking around a deal that could have seismic implications.

The scuttlebutt is that owner Omar Marquis has 'demanded' change! Many were happy with the season in Chicago but apparently he's made it known he's beyond furious at the club losing 3 straight, and the World Series, and wants a personnel change now....

Stay tuned.
