Bospherus Fail to Sign 10th Rounder
(17 year old says.... "it ain't cheap to manicure this 'stache")
The UMEBA draft has finally come and gone. I say finally because the start up league is in desperate need of some young talent to give Middle Easterners something to look forward to. Istanbul was able to pick up a few solid prospects. Outfielder Blake Bell and Starting Pitcher Bert Hackworth lead the list.
One player who will not be inking a contract, however, is Tristan Balgera. The 17 year old fragile righty RP with 3/2/1 potential and poor work ethic is demanding a contract in excess of $350,000. The Bospherus balked at that price and will take a hard pass.
"When evaluating players we put a certain price point on them. The demands of Balgera far exceeded our view of him as a player. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours."
We caught with Tristan to get his side of the story and here is what he had to say.
"It ain't cheap to manicure this "stache". I've been growing it since before any of the other kids at school had peach fuzz. Now that I finally got the handle bars to curve, it's at a whole 'nother level. I need a contract that is sufficient enough to support my beard balm needs. Baseball is temporary. This 'stache is forever."
With that, the Bospherus have enacted a no facial hair policy on draftees to avoid future situations.
