Phoenix, AZ--
Astute observers of the Talons Team News page may recall the now infamous Article, written in late 2042, in which the team gave a "mention" to every single BBA GM (even their own) in order to get more responses to the article.
It was a smashing success, setting the all time record for comments on a Talons Team News post. Some GMs were amused, most GMs ignored it, and one GM even got triggered. But, lost in the fray, was an offer to buy a used car, a 1998 Toyota RAV4. Now, why would the Talons want to buy a 44 year old used SUV? An intern from the Talons Player Relations Department had this to say.
"Well, we feel kind of bad, really," she explained. "We have this outfielder. He's 24 years old, and the highlight of his season last year was 35 at-bats for our Short Season A ballclub in Daytona Beach. We drafted the guy for $1, then released him, then re-signed him for another dollar. We even wrote an article about him: Ethan Treolar. Anyway, we feel kinda bad for the guy, and we heard he could really use some wheels."
So, the Talons made an offer to the Commish on the aforementioned Toyota in the aforementioned article. Said Commish, who has a well known side hustle as a used car salesman, immediately counter offered. The Talons, amenable to the terms, immediately messaged back stating they were serious. And then??
Crickets.
Yep, the Talons got ghosted while trying to buy a used car. Guess Ethan Treolar should start pricing out Greyhound tickets to Spring training!
