Joffer is the crown prince of Zamunda, a territory near Ethiopia, but despite his wealth and status, Joffer’s dream was to play baseball. Until he actually arrived to Sacramento. He demanded a trade to Rocky Mountain. Then, Prince Akeem, wanted to win a championship, so he single-handedly paid the $8 million demand by the Oysters to be sent to Nashville. While many cash for prospect trades look like robberies by the cash receiving team, Joffer is the opposite. It looks as if he wasn’t bitten by the transition to ’25. Joffer was once viewed as a niche player; someone who could come off the bench and steal a base at the end of the game with his blazing speed. He has become a well-rounded player with the same blazing speed and stealing ability.

Joffer has stolen 100+ bags in four of his seasons in the minor leagues, falling just short in 2058 with 96 swipes. While he had a cup of coffee with the Oysters in 2057, his time in Nashville was limited to the playoffs, where he failed to steal a base. With a crowded outfield in Nashville, Joffer begins 2059 in AAA, though he is more than deserving of being on a big league roster. He is slashing .325/.394/.494 with 17 SB in 36 games. Weirdly, when players seem to being stealing bases with more ease, Joffer has been caught stealing 8 times, so he needs to improve his success rate. Joffer looks like he will replace Juan Rivera when he retires.
