Gómez to Donate Kidney to Ailing Brother
December 1, 2030

San Antonio starting pitcher Roberto Gómez has decided to retire from baseball in order to donate a kidney to his brother. Doctors say Gómez's brother, who has advanced kidney disease, probably won't survive without a new organ.

"As much as I love the game of baseball, I love my brother more," said Gómez. "I'm just doing what I would hope someone would do for me if I needed it."

Jim Whitacre had nothing but praise for his teammate.

"Roberto is such an incredible guy. To walk away from all of this to help someone he cares about just shows how much class he has."

His manager, Francisco Hernández, was equally impressed with Gómez's generosity.

"It takes a lot of character to make a sacrifice like that. We wish him and his brother all the best and we'll definitely be praying for their speedy recovery."

Signed me a decent starting pitcher at least. lost out on a lot of the depth guys I was hoping to nab. Gotta find a 3B now...

I guess of Lima made it to the WL Championship game then they finished off my Water Wolves. We were down 3 games to 0 heading into the sim anyway so odds weren't in our favor.

[nerfHerder]

Signed two catchers and drafted a third. Now where to play them. Also nice to get Morra to join at 2B. Hope he plays well so I can flip him.

[allenr]

Gambled on my rule 5 and lost. Le bollocks.

Also bollocks to losing the fall league

[felipe]

we didn't hit a home-run this year in the Rule V, (ended up with our 11th and 27th (last) picks), but I think we picked up a young solid cost controlled loogy for the Sluggers bullpen for the next six seasons, and an intriguing outfielder who we will probably have to give back...thanks Havana!

[allenr]

Also, I'm pretty sure I offered Soto a bigger contract than that. Congrats Madison.

[aaronweiner]

Kharlamov and Aaron Campbell. Hard to complain much.

[aaronweiner]

Also taking a chance on Pistone, but I figure by next year my outfield will be nearly airtight.

[Ted]

Kind of excited about the Boogie deal. Now to see if there are any other geriatric ballplayers I can gamble on.

[7teen]

Also, I'm pretty sure I offered Soto a bigger contract than that. Congrats Madison.

I was hoping to maybe land Soto and Snabel and rebuild my staff some and then fill holes with cheap vets. Snabel I missed on, lost a lot of the vets I offered to this sim.

So now I have Soto and need to get busy trying to figure out who fills the holes I have left

[felipe]

I will be delighted if Wichita wins the World cup of Baseball...

[Lane]

Whiffed on all FAs...

[felipe]

There's still a lot of bargains out there...do I grab a one year rental guy for third, second, or relief?

[udlb58]

Kharlamov and Aaron Campbell. Hard to complain much.

Thought I was more in the running for Kharlamov than that, good thing I picked up Medrano.

Would have liked to have brought back Valera, but forgot to make him the offer last sim and missed the export this one. Oh well.

RIP Boogie Eisenhower

[ae37jr]

I'm looking forward to seeing how the World Cup of Baseball plays out. It should be a lot of fun to complain about snubs and root for our players in the games. Hopefully nobody get hurt.

[allenr]

@7teen Argh, looks you got Soto because I was too cute with my contract offer. I offered him a decent bit more each year, but less guaranteed (I had a vesting option in for year 4 given his age) so he went with you. I'd also offered a 5th year team option. Ah well, that's what I get.
