Annapolis Admirals: Signed SP Robin Fenton to a 1-year deal worth $900,000

New Castle Colonials: Signed LF Jordan Bishop to a 1 year deal worth $1,1800,000.

Milford Clippers: Signed SP Claudio Perez to a 2 year deal worth $29,200,000. The righty went 9-8 3.06 with the Generals last season.

Owner Profile
Name: Ralph Corbin
Age: 60 (12/07/1968)

Ralph Corbin was born in Dallas Texas and come to the DelMarVa area over the past 10 seasons and with the boom of the DBL he began to show interest in ownership. When he heard about the upcoming expansion he applied for a team to be based out of Chadds Ford PA, becoming the first team from PA to join the DBL. Coming from oil money Corbin had enough money to tip scales his way and was able to get approval for his team, the Chadds Ford Cannons. Corbin just wants to make a dollar and his sole purpose for owning a team is to make money. In the application Corbin said he chose Chadds Ford because of the history involing the Revolutionary War. An avid history buff, the Cannons decided to base their away uniforms on the uniforms of the American forces during the war.

Current Mode: Happy
Patience: Demanding
Fiscal Personality: Penny-pincher
Involment: Hands-off
Priority: Extreme Profit

Front Office:
Upon my arrival most of the coaching staff was filled out. Missing only 3 coaches from the system I reached out and began to try to fill the holes. First move was to promote the current Manager to GM. With the unproven Bob Rodgers out of the way, I reached out to, Guilherme Guardio, in effors to fill the vacant managerial slot. He is a lengendary coach who has a 1321-1271 career record in the DBL. I also reached out to Anthony Baker to manager our single-A club and Ronald Johnson to manage our short-season A club. Both of those coaches are unproven.

MGR Guilherme Guardio signed a 3-year contract worht $786,000 per season to run the helm. He is coming off a 5-year tenure with the Milton Brewers, where he guided a young team to 3 play-off showings.

PC Ronald Johnson signed on to be our short-season a-ball manager. He hasn't coached since his 2-season as the pitching coach for the Virginia Beach Surf Dawgs in 2017 and 2018. He will make $148,000 per year for 2 seasons.

MGR Anthony Baker agreed to take over our A-Ball club. He has been managing in the minors since 2013 with mixed success. But he was, what I thought, was the best player out there for this team.

Players:
I started the off-season by reaching out to anyone who has talent and was young enough to make the team. I do have a few qualifications, they must have some skill with the possibility of making the club and putting up some kind of numbers or at least be fast, avoid K's and play good defense.

Offers:
November 11th
I reached out to Sergio Galvez, yes here I go again, and offered him a 3-year deal worth just over $4 million per season. I doubt he will sign here, but its worht the try. I also reached out to Javier Janchez, yes the wrecked player, who is pretty solid when on the field, a plus defender and plus runner. He said no way he would play for our new manager Guardio. Their paths crossed in Christiana, so I am out there.

November 13th
After the expansion draft I reached out to a couple of pitchers. I do need to add some depth in the rotation. I offered a 2 year/$5 million contract to SP Esteban Calamacho, second year vesting on 110 IP. And I also reached out to injured SP Yoshtoki Mori, who was with the Sixteens, and offered him a 3 year deal. I am starting to think I should withdrawl this deal as I am not sure his stamina is going to hold out as a starter.

Singings:
November 17th
Made some minor league offers to C Fernando Diaz, who could fight for the #2 or #3 catcher slot. 2B Bryant Bingaman who is a below average hitter, but a solid 2B. 3B Eugene Carlisle for minor league depth, another below average hitter with a solid glove. SP Caul Oulton, who is an average rated pitcher with a lot of stamina, guess I am just hoping he surprises.

November 26th
A few days later we signed another 3 minor league players. CF Jorge Guerrero who can fly and can cover 1/2 the outfield on his own, but really struggles with the bat. OF Pedro Ortiz, who is another fast guy with great OF range and questionable bat. And OF Chance Boone, who is a guy I drafted while in Norfolk and the Cav's seemed to have given pu on. He is a solid OF with, yes a quesitonable bat.

November 29th
We came to terms with Esteban Calamacho on a two year deal worth $2,500,000 per season. The second year of this deal is a vesting option based on 110 IP. Calamacho went 6-13 4.33 with the Richmond Cardinals last season and is 22-47 lifetime over 3 seasons with the Cardinals. Calamacho will be our #3.

November 30th
Yoshtoki Mori signed our 3yr deal. A deal that could end up being worth $10,100,000. His first year he will make $1,700,000 and in year two $3,200,000 and if he reaches 110 IP he can bring home $5,200,00 during his third season. He will be placed on the DL and should be back in 5-6 months, or mid-season. He has solid ratings for Stuff (14), Movement (10) and Control (15), but only a 7 in stamina, which I have to keep a close eye on. He could end up being my closer.

We came to terms with 4 more guys for our minor league system. C Dan Bank is a catcher who could win a gold glove, but he can't really hit. I just wanted a defensive catcher. 1B/C Anzhel Astsatrian has shown some power (12/13) so he could end up being a valubable bat, he has never played over AA however. C Paco Santos again defensive depth, matches Bank as a defender, but probably a little better hitter. And finally, yet another catcher, Il-Young Cho. Cho is a free-agent out of Korea and a 1/2 decent catcher. He may compete for an opening day roster slot (7/7, 10/10, 12/12, 10/10, 7/7).

OF/1B Sergio Galvez favors our offer so we are still on the fence. Galvez still has some umph so I am hoping he can signs with us. He will most likely be our starting 1B, possible LF'er.
