LEAGUE NEWS

Due to a clerical error in our front office, Ken Lee has 'failed' to meet his vesting option criteria, and short of an extension or him accepting arbitration, he can become a free agent. He is worthy of a compensation pick as well. Instead of 112 Starts, it was listed in his contract as 112 PA.....

Our marketing department has notified the front office that the recent fan survey has shown an increase in fan loyalty to 'above average'. Great news.

2022 Budget-Mr. Marquis has set our 2022 budget at 122 million with a draft allocation of 6.8. That's up from 116M. Our current payroll is projected to be 104.2M with another 25+ million in expenses. We've got some work to do.

Pitching Coach Bob Hill has decided to retire. AAA Pitching coach Flavio Leon will get the gig and we'll look to promote from within and hire someone younger for an entry level minor league job. The entire organization's pitching coach group is promoted from A, to AA, to AAA. Heaveners coach is promoted to Denison, and we are looking to fill his spot as the only open position.

Arbitration-We have 1 case, and 1 free agent case. Pedro Garcia is making 1.65, looking for 3, and we'll take that one given the trades we're pushing right now (looking to open up some room in the system as we have a glut of arms in the upper levels) and Ken Lee's. We will definitely offer him arbitration, and maybe he stuns us and accepts, otherwise we'll get the pick. He's going to be looking at 15 or so, minimum. Still a significant amount of conversation around his actions in game 5 of the World Series, which many feel was the most selfish thing they'd ever seen, and many also feel it ultimately cost us the series.
