Offseason Awards:
Otto Isaac won the NL MVP Award for the 2nd time in his career, bookending Philadelphia’s Palmer Parker’s 2-year reign as NL MVP.
Our Skipper, Michael Scott, took home the World’s Best Boss trophy.
CL Donovan Turnbull won the Reliever of the Year Award.
C DOM Cooke, 3B PEPPER GRANT, and SS HAMZA McDonnell won Gold Gloves at their position… it was Dom and Hamza’s first GG Award and Pepper’s 3rd such honor.
Dom & CF Otto Isaac were awarded the Silver Slugger distinction at their positions, respectively. This is Dom’s second and Otto’s 3rd such distinction.

Summary of Offseason Changes:

New Orleans time as the Pirates has ended abruptly as the club has decided to go back to being called the Gators.

My offensive core remains intact, and we’ll continue to hit for power, but my staff, particularly my starters have taken a hit… Strangely, the BNN Corp of Engineers thinks we’ll be as good or better on the mound than last season… I’m not so sure, in fact – I think we’re highly overrated this season.
