Hammer Time 2051.5 - Whoops

Post by WestCoastStros » Wed Jun 01, 2022 9:35 pm

Just as quickly as Jerusalem fans celebrated the re-signing of two of the most accomplished players in the club’s 13-year history, an unfortunate clerical error last week resulted in the prompt releases of C Baden Dutton and SP Hsuang-Tsung Xu, who has since signed with Boise for a deeply discounted $2M.

“We’re not ones to throw blame around, but I will say that an unanticipated extension of vacation plans played a role in the lack of communication with the commissioner’s office,” GM Mark Becker explained. “To be fair, we hadn’t really expected to get either back into the fold by that point anyway – a bit of an 11th-hour thing from their agents – but we’ve moved on and have other plans for the $8M+ we had quickly organized to convince them back.”

The Hebrew Hammers would appear to be comfortable enough at both positions and willing to extend itself to keep two of its most-beloved players in the fold, but there do not appear to be hard feelings on either side. Reports after the releases continue to mention near $20M in cap space available for the defending champions – a frightening prospect for the GBC as the rest of the roster already appears quite formidable despite having lost a whopping 21.9 net WAR this offseason. Still, fan boards continue to lambast the front office for a perceived dearth of top-end pitching even after the addition of rehabbing star David Diaz and the callup of top two-way prospect Adel bin Husam al Din. Will Jerusalem bring aboard one last stud atop the rotation or sit on the money and hope to absorb a big contract at the trade deadline? Stay tuned…

I actually found out Xú was available going through your transactions while writing the GBC team previews for the upcoming media guide. Thanks for that.

(between you and me though, you do need another SP.)
