The Jacksonville Hurricanes wasted no time re-signing their biggest acquisition from trade season, penning relief pitcher Luke Seddon to a three-year deal that will effectively cancel out his arbitration years. The reliever was projected to make $1.8 million in arbitration next year and around $7.2 ...

This huge crop of corner outfielders from the 2057 draft are starting to make an impact and making it difficult to be a veteran corner OF.

Yeah, I looked back through the draft after that and was like "whoa, there were a lot of good guys available in the fifth round." I took Juan Orquiz there.

Jacksonville called up three players expected to be on the roster next season as rosters expanded this week: RF Shu-yaan Zheng , 1B Alfonso Martinez , and left handed pitcher Dave Hill . The three players have vastly different stories as to how they became Hurricanes, but each of them is likely to b...

What's the record for number of teams that a player has been with in a season? Yikes. Don't know, but this deal is depressing. Guy signed an extension already for $6.6 million per, making him possibly the best bargain in the BBA for the next three years. Less depressing if he didn't go to Charm Cit...

Well, it's your own fault. In a day and age where I can't type the words "olive oil" into my computer without getting forty seven ads for Bertolli, you're repeatedly shouting into cyberspace "f--- your game and all your new editions." The fact that the game f---s you back is just a matter of the Inf...

The other thing to look for is whether he gets enough PAs for that $4M bonus.

Probably happens this year. I'm just gonna let him play for now.

Perhaps not next year, especially if he keeps lumping.

Daniel Pepper earned his 3000th hit on August 23rd, 2058, hitting a game-winning single in the top of the 11th inning to bring the Jacksonville Hurricanes to a 66-66 record. Pepper is one of the all-time greatest players in the history of the BBA by any objective measure; he has more career wins ab...

So, you might be wondering: what on Earth would possess the Jacksonville Hurricanes to simply ship starting catcher Luis Gonzales, one of the best defensive players in the BBA, to Valencia for a relief pitcher? A few reasons surely come to mind. ======================================================...

Gosh darnit Aldo better be a HoFer.

Got my vote, but a lot of people won't vote for him. Whereas there is absolutely no chance Pepper doesn't make it.

Sometimes it's important to take a picture, because it lasts longer. Jacksonville third baseman Pepe Aragon , just 20 years old, is no doubt snapping dozens of pictures of his start to August and framing them somewhere in his place, because if they gave awards for Player of the Half-Month, he'd be a...

One more bump for Gonzales and Marroquin gone.

The Jacksonville Hurricanes sent two players out of town this week. Juan Marroquin got his wish to be traded to a contender, swapped to Charlotte for an outfield prospect. And Luis Gonzales, shortly after being added to the trade block, was traded to Valencia for relief pitcher Luke Sneddon. "We had...

Jacksonville Receives:

RP Luke Seddon

Valencia Receives:

C Luis Gonzáles

Please place Gonzáles in both lineups as starting catcher. Unable to submit in-game because owner is a doo-doo head.

Confirmed.

Charlotte receives:

SP Juan Marroquin


Jacksonville receives:

OF Thomas Blanchard (R)


Push Blanchard to SA Paraiso.

BTW, neither of the two trades are doable in game.

In response, activate Hayden Bennion and put him into Marroquin's rotation spot. Generate a bullpen.

Confirmed. Sim instructions in next trade report.

Glad to see this happen!

Same. I wasn't gonna let him wiggle out of the $33/3 at the end of this one. For all I know he won't be worth it, but I'll take my chances on a guy this good.

Bumping for a couple additions to the list and Chavez being gone.

The Jacksonville Hurricanes today announced that they have re-signed staff ace Bob Anderson to a six year extension with no opt outs, options, or chicanery that will carry him through the 2064 season. Rated by independent analysts as the #2 pitcher in the BBA, Anderson has placed in the top three in...

Not sure how much Marroquin is going to cash in—didn’t he just clear waivers?

I dunno. If nobody else is paying the guy I'm gonna - though probably a little creatively.
