Nothing much happened anymore the rest of the offseason; the Raccoons purged a few minor leaguers in May, the highest pick amongst whom was Jerry Sterenberg, an outfielder taken in the second round in 2045, who had made Ham Lake his home for most of the last five years without ever hitting a damn thing. Other departures included eight-rounder and fellow outfielder Dustin Nudel, 2047 ninth-rounder 1B Mitch Lapp, and the odd nameless scouting discovery here or there.

Former Furballs finding future fodder funding: Eduardo Avila got $442k from the Scorpions; Angelo Zurita settled for $396k from the Wolves; Nelson Mercado got $446k from the Blue Sox;

…and with that, the 2050 season is almost upon us. Who’s excited?

(eerie silence)

Anybody?

Good! I was briefly concerned there…!
