38.02 (Cairo) - He can't do that!! CCA claims Montreal Blazier Pena Off Waivers
Manuel Pena
Career Stats - 58 Wins - 47 Losses - 4.50 ERA - 12.4 WAR
Bewilderment swirled among UMEBA/BBA GMs the news was released that the Cairo Chariot Archers' attempt to claim Monteal Blazer's Pitcher, Pena, off waivers was approved.
"Uhh... wait, what," Pena responded when asked about the team move. Montreal signed Pena to 6 year - $45 Million extension last season and then showed up for Spring Training struggling out of the gate with a 9.00+ ERA through five starts. Scouts have noticed a noticeable drop in Pena's stuff from recent seasons.
Goofball Owner, Ryan Boyd, was indifferent when asked how he could have thought acquiring Pena was even plausible, "He's still getting paid... right? So what's the problem? Plus, he'll be a STAR here as a Chariot Archer instead of a overpaid scrub on a bad contract. Ok, he's definitely not a scrub, forget I said that. Look, we're still finding creative ways to find quality players for the UMEBA."
Some GM's are questioning on how the transaction was even possible or even approved. Despite Owner Ryan Bond insisting that the team get Pena in the rotation immediately, the Cairo Front Office has decided to keep Manuel Pena in DFA until the leadership of the UMEBA and BBA looks into the situation and determines if such transactions between the two leagues will be allowable.

Can you imagine the player's union response to this? Or if say MLB proposed that they let Korean teams or Japanese teams claim waived players? I'm bemused just thinking about all the hot takes and angry posturing.
On the other hand, maybe if he could get claimed by a team in bumblefuckistan, Marcell Ozuna wouldn't have showed up to camp 25 lbs overweight in a contract year.
