Omaha reportedly tells several players to expect their name in trade talks. (55.04).

While Omaha is loyal to most of its players, those who have only been with the team a few years or who didn’t spend any time in the minors with the club seem to be the exception to this rule. Take Sloth Fratelli for instance. Fratelli is one of only 8 players in the BBA who are rated 75+ overall at ...

Timo Dooley extension reportedly in the works, with a chance to win #200 this year.(55.03)

At age 35, Timo Dooley is embarking on his 15th season in Omaha, where he will look to continue his everyday consistency that the team has come to expect. Dooley has tossed at least 200 innings in all but 2 of those full seasons (he was called up late in his rookie season). He will toss his 3000th c...

Omaha top 5 prospect off-season report(55.02)

1.) SP Enzo Bouton --- At age 20, Bouton ranks as the teams top prospect, and is ranked #10 overall in the BBA. He spent last year in AA where he compiled a 4.30 ERA in 25 games started.

Omaha offseason interview with GM Justin Niles (reigning Nebraska award winner to AAA??). 55.01

Despite winning 103 games this season, the front office falls short of their second Monty Brewster series win by being eliminated in the Cartwright Cup this season by Sacramento.

Re: BBA Stalwart Pitcher Kondo Retires at 40 (Hoppy Endings, pre Pre-Arby Sim) [PP:2054.37]

I enjoyed having Kondo pitch for us for 1 year in Omaha before I traded him to Phoenix in the deal to net me Nakamura & at the time Sugiyama (who ended up back in Phoenix lol). His 6 yr, $221M deal still gives me a bit of heartburn(even if the structure almost guaranteed it wouldn't play out that wa...

Does Shoeless have to stay on until he doesn't win it all?

Yes, but @shoeless.db has to switch teams with @niles08 so we can watch both their heads explode!

Omaha loses starting middle infield with Chuang and Zalapa both injured.(2054.11)

Horrible news for Cyclone fans today as the team has placed both Asher Chuang and Angel Zalapa on the 7-day injured list, but both are expected to miss a minimum of 3 weeks, which could end their season. The team had enough confidence in Asher Chuang this season that they traded Luis Pena to an in-d...

With everything locked, Omaha announces pitching changes. (2054.10)

Omaha appears to be more than content with their 99 wins this season, as the team has announced a new-look rotation that replaces 80% of the team's typical starting pitching rotation. Brian King , Timo Dooley , Jose Barron , & Haravira Chandar all were given notice they would be pitching out of midd...
