2022 begins

Dobson leaves for basic
31 year old IF Pat Dobson has stayed true to his word. The slugger has gone on the voluntary retired list as he enters basic training for the USMC at Paris Island. Contrary to many pessimists this move is clearly not for publicity or anything else, as both Dobson and the Colts have refused interviews and media access.

World Champions snag former rookie of the year
Vincente Elisary has signed a 6 year 70.8M dollar free agent contract with the World Champion Corpus Christi Hooks. The 30 year old Elisary is coming off a great 2021, when he went 16-10 3.69 for Las Vegas. He's scheduled to slide into the #3 spot in the Hooks rotation.

IBL RULE CHANGE
The IBL has changed a 40 man roster rule after bargaining with the players association. The league has removed the right for veteran players to refuse a demotion to the minor leagues. In exchange the association has received the ability to allow 4 former MLB players the right to enter the 2023 IBL free agent market.
It's believed the players now understand that while some jobs could be at stake, the ability to bring brand names, and star quality talent to the IBL, is a major reason the league has flourished.
