Slugger Shavings 2052.5 - Damek!

Post by RT60 » Wed Oct 26, 2022 9:08 pm

A tearful Damek Korbel sat in front of the media on Aug 21 to discuss the trade that took many BBA fans by surprise. He had just learned of the deal that sent him back to Las Vegas, the same team that traded him to Louisville after the end of the 2050 season. The Sluggers also agreed to retain 50% of his salary through 2054, and received Francisco Arredondo, Kevin Corbett, Michael Griffin, and Roberto Rodriguez from the Hustlers.

Damek began, "Not many of you know this, but my little girl has been very sick ever since we made the move to Louisville. I kept it together last year and did okay, but I just haven't been able to focus this season. I am sorry to the fans that were expecting more from me, but that is the reason. My wife and I were actually talking about my possible retirement so that we could move back out to the desert to help my daughter. It is her home and the climate will be better for her.

Then would you believe that the Hustlers reached out to GM BP to see if they could bring me back? They had no idea about my personal situation. It is like their GM is my guardian angel or something. I'll tell you one thing - I am going to bust my ass for the Hustlers. I just know my girl is going to get better there, and I hope to bring her to a championship celebration!"

BP GM added, "I know the fans were disappointed to see Damek go, but they understand. We had to do right by him and his family. We look forward to seeing him and his daughter thrive back in the desert. While we are sorry to see him go, we are excited about what we got in return."

Over the years, Louisville has had that effect on more than just Damek's daughter.

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

I have been their GM for less than a full season, and they are definitely making me sick to my stomach. So you are on to something there.
