Top Reliever Returns to YS9 Bullpen


Nov 6, 2045: YELLOW SPRINGS – It took five days from the time relief ace Angel Hernandez decided to opt out of the last season of his deal that would have paid him $2.1M for the team and the player to arrive at a new deal, but arrive they did.

Hernandez, arguably the best left-handed reliver in the game, agreed to a three-season pact in which the last is a mutual option. He’ll make $4M next year, then $4.5M in 2046 before having the right to opt into a $5M deal in 2047 (again, assuming the team is still interested, too). Along the way, he’ll be eligible for up to $2M if he stays healthy enough to pitch a regular workload.

“This is a great day for Yellow Springs baseball,” said Melissa Lester, voice of the Nine. “I know the money was tight for the team, but there was no way that the team could afford to let Hernandez leave.” Some insiders suggested that an earlier trade that saw reliever Sergio Perez go to Twin Cities was partially made in order to free up the cash needed to swing this deal. If so, I the mood around the city says they got that calculus right.

At 26, Hernandez is a two-time All-Star and has thrown an ERA over 1.37 one time in his last four seasons, that being a 2.29 mark in 2043 when he threw 102 innings. Standing at 6’7,” he represents a domineering presence on the mound, something that his sweeping sidearm motion adds to in order to strike fear into left-handed batter’s hearts.

“Facing his is like getting a fork stabbed in your eye,” one Heartland division hitter said. “It’s not a lot of fun.”
