Chicago acquires another 1st round pick
The Iron Pigs sent 4 players and their 2022 4th round draft choice to New Orleans for the Voodoo's 2022 1st round selection (#1 overall).
Chicago packaged veteran catcher, and gold glover, George Knox (31), 1B Ruberto Gabere (26), LF Jose Gonzalez (26) and RP Luis Quinones (25) as well as their 4th pick for the 1st overall selection in the upcoming 2022 amateur draft.

REASONING-I now own picks 1, 3 and 4, as well as pick 32, in the 1st round. I can absolutely deal picks if the draft pool is not deep, but more importantly I can possibly stockpile multiple franchise players within a matter of 4 picks. I have 2 young catchers ready to backup Jackson in Chicago, Gabere is going to remain behind Salinas and Shaw if he stayed, Gonzalez is a decent prospect who does a lot nicely, nothing great. Quinones is another RH power arm in a stable full of them already. Ya I did give up 8 players, and 2 later picks, to get just 2 draft choices, but that, imo, I can afford given how well my scouts have done bringing in talent.

New Orleans finds an ace
The Voodoo have made their first official free agent signing, today inking 4 time all star Vincente Romero to a 2 year 29.4M dollar deal. Romero, 34, is 154-96 3.53 in 324 starts lifetime.

11/11
Providence gets an ace of their own
The Black Sox today signed 29 year old Dale Hickman to a 4 year 49.1M dollar offer. The left hander is 80-66 4.33 in his career.

11/12
Houston slips in on Chicago
The Roughriders announced the signing of 25 year old Closer Shimei Ikarashi to a 2 year 22M dollar free agent deal. Ikarashi was 4-4 with 36 saves and a 3.21 ERA last season for San Antonio. Chicago was rumored to be talking to the young lefty as well.

On the tail of that signing Houston turned around and dealt 27 year old Closer Ron Pearson and 23 year old CL prospect Steve Scott (3.5* LH) to Edmonton for 26 year old 1B Albert Pujols. Pearson has a 19-26 record with 42 saves and a 4.46 ERA in 338 games. He was 3-7 33 Saves with a 4.33 in 68 games last year. Pujols will hit cleanup, and play 1st base, opening day for the Roughriders. He's hit .261 with 70 HR's and 278 RBI's in 445 games so far.

11/13
LA lands the big one
Many believe SS Jimmy Rollins is the prize on this years market for position players. Los Angeles made sure they landed that prize today, giving the 26 year old a 6 year 106.8M dollar deal to play SS and bat 3rd for the Wizards. Rollins has hit .276 with 87 HR's and 373 RBI's and stolen 334-443 bases in his career.

11/15
Buffalo inks Lee
The Bisons today announced a deal with 32 year old lefty Ken Lee that will pay him 29M over the next 2 seasons.

STUFF- Fan interest drops to 82, but we receive a comp pick, which means we now are picking 1, 3, 4, 34 and 37 in the first and supplemental rounds of the draft. Steve McKinley is tabbed to take over Lee's spot in the rotation.

11/16
World Champs find a new closer
Corpus Christi signed 28 year old Closer Raymond Peters to a 1 year 11.9 million dollar deal, making him their closer for 2022 and moving former closer Alex Browne into a setup role. Peters was 4-7 2.62 with 37 saves last year and has 192 in his career.

11/17
Hawaii lands a backstop
The Warriors announced the signing of 28 year old Catcher Craig Massey to a 4 year 28.74M dollar deal today. Massey is a career .261 hitter and was a 2021 All Star.

11/19
Trappers make big splash for SP
Edmonton has signed 30 year old SP Sixto Morales to a 6 year 94.5M dollar deal. Morales is 88-77 4.64 in 228 lifetime starts. The 2 time All star (19 and 20) had his best year in 2020 when he went 19-7 3.28 for Buffalo. Morales spent the his first 5 IBL seasons in Edmonton and was reportedly excited about returning.
