Kiichi Suzuki and Alan Williamson to the tune of $28 million. Williamson’s contract is now off the books but the Kernels are still stuck with $13.8 million for Suzuki. Suzuki’s contract will hamper the Popcornmen until 2047 but the alternative is that they would be stuck with the contract and his sucky ass.
With no major signings and news to make a longer update, here’s a quick rundown of the major moves this offseason

• The Kernels signed Trey Williams to manage the squad
• Jorge Aranda was traded to Mexico City for RP Charlet
Aranda was a tough one to let go, but he flopped in the outfield last season and his lack of versatility in the middle infield meant that he would have to play behind Chua-kah Yang at 2B. His bat was simply too good to sit on the bench and the bullpen needed help.
