NEW IBL SCHEDULE RELEASED
The IBL is moving to an unbalanced schedule, with limited interleague. Each team will play 22 games against their division, 6 games against the 15 other teams in their league, and a 6 game series vs the 4 teams in the division opposite theirs, in the other league. The Empire plays the Keystone, the Midwest plays the Lone Star, the West plays the Pacific and the Northeastern plays the southern.

2/5
Dayton nabs veteran RP
Joe Boswell has signed a 2 year 7.08M dollar deal with the Dayton Dragons. The 39 year old will, for the first time in his illustrious career, not open the season as a closer.

He is 2nd all time in the IBL with 345 saves and has a lifetime 2.04 ERA.

2/9
White Caps tab former Chicago lefty.Randy Pennington signed a 1 year 3.76M dollar contract with West Michigan today. The 30 year old was being heavily recruited and was expected to sign a long term deal somewhere. He moves into an already dominant pen as one of 3 left handers right now.

2/12
Sharks nab Alejandrez
Alfredo Alejandrez, he of the 145-102 record, signed a 1 year 2.88M dollar deal with San Jose today. Everyone involved seemed excited, while everyone outside the deal was stunned. Stunned at the length and size, or lack of, both. He's coming off a career worst 10-16 5.48 season but is still a stop of the rotation arm, even at 36.

2/20
