Nicholas Kokosioulis Takes Post of General Manager in Kuwait City
Nicholas Kokosioulis and several of the Kuwait City Alhafr players visited with some school children as they took time out from a busy schedule.

The newly-appointed GM has proven he's more than just a baseball man: He's a humanitarian as well.

"Baseball is a community sport, and a general manager needs to be more than just a numbers guy. You need to get out in the community. It's easier if you're winning, but the fans need to know that you're in their corner - that you're a member of the community, not stuck up in your office all the time."

Cairo Confident in Diaz Signing as General Manager
The local media welcomed John Diaz as the new manager of the Cairo Chariot Archers BC today.

The 65-year-old native of The United States was questioned for several minutes by reporters about his goals and hopes for the club.

Some local media are praising the signing as a good one, while others feel Diaz is in over his head.

And now back to the file generation. Dont expect a file anytime soon.

Overpaid for Luna after I missed on Ortega, but I got a much needed reliever

[HoosierVic]

Congrats to Nick and John on their teams, although it already looks like John is going to have problems with the local media …

[GoldenOne]

Got Noboru. Now I just have to figure out who plays where in the infield. I know Richardson will be playing SS but with Joey O'Brien and Jharod Thealer and now Noboru might be a merry-go-round during spring training.

[crobillard]

Not sure if I will be able to make Trujillo fit anywhere, but I'll try. I don't have many options for starters, but after seeing his 2040 season in Madison after my trade I got really curious what I could do with him. Three homers in six innings in 2041 is less encouraging, but don't look at that.

[GoldenOne]

Hoping McHonecan help out the young guys on the pitching staff this season and can at least be useful for a couple of seasons.

No kidding!

You uh sure you don't want me to pay his salary also...?

Picked up some much needed SP form the Rule 5 draft - Thank you Des Moines

[Fat Nige]

Pleased to have at least picked up one Rule 5 player without losing any. Also completed my management team. Still no FA signings though, it’s hard when you’re casing on a $10 m budget, but not as hard as it would have been before I sunk 200 PP’s into the finances lol

[ae37jr]

Was surprised to lose 3 in the rule 5. No big losses though. In fact they'll probably all come back.

Happy to pick up Wang-fen Law. He spent 6 years in the Brooklyn organization in a team captain role. Eventually he wanted a big league deal and we parted ways. A couple of bumps later he is now a somewhat interesting player at age 27.5 despite no BBA experience. Would be a nice story to have him make the team.

[aaronweiner]

Wasn't gonna put Amaya or Domingo on the 40-man, so no big. Not thrilled about losing anyone but I didn't add anyone either so i figured it was coming.
