One piece of team news, and a trade...
Ticket prices have been increased for 2022, from 24 to 26 dollars, and the ownership is putting about 25 million in renovations into the ballpark. Changing the playing surface over from turface, to grass, and adding 5500 seats in premium spots (well premium spots left anyway) around the ball park.

Chicago acquires Hawaii's #1 pick.
The Chicago Iron Pigs have sent 4 players and their 2022 3rd round draft choice to Hawaii for the Warriors 2022 1st round draft choice. Chicago sent relievers Chance Holt (30) Victor Ornealas (25) and Orlando Velez (30) as well as blue chip IF prospect Cipriano Alonzo, as well as the pick, to Hawaii.

Reasoning-We have a plethora of arms in the minors, especially bullpen arms. Alonzo was hard to give up as I hate giving up any player that we draft high (he was a 2017 2nd rounder 43rd overall) but any chance I can get a top 5 pick (which this will hopefully be even if the league expands) for players that will not make my 25 man, and I have depth behind, I will. Not to mention Alonzo's got Hudson and Blakeway, and Miranda, on the IBL roster.
