We have renewed our open borders agreement with Songhai.

Both the Japanese and the Venetians want to trade for our excess pearls, but they aren't offering much in return. No deal.

The best players available in free agency are Gold Glove winners CF Eric Heath and Houston SP Yassur Murimi. Murimi was picked up by Seattle, and Heath signed a 4-year deal with the Portland Stags.

When it rains, it pours. Five players - all starting pitchers - were inducted into the CBL Hall of Fame: Seattle teammates SP Jason Sedlak and SP Ryan McClung, Washington teammates SP Waleed Harith and SP Julian "The WIzard" Thomas, and Miami's Ryan "Shadow" Brown.

Portland has fired temperamental manager Josh Gauvin and hired even more fiery David Bohnsack to replace him. Bohnsack was formerly the hitting coach for the Atlanta Bison.

First round draft results

Masters Division: At midseason the Argent held a strong lead over the rest of the pack, with New York, Portland, and Houston fighting for the second spot. Buffalo stayed strong all season, and the Houston Citadel kicked it up a notch to easily finish 2nd. The Citadel didn't slow down in the division series, knocking off the Argent in 6 games. Houston LF Yashiya Nakamura hit .550 for the series and was named MVP.

Legends Division: Washington jumped out to an early lead, and Los Angeles and Miami tried to keep pace, but at the trade deadline made some puzzling moves for young players that signaled that they be looking more toward their future than just this season. They might have been a bit overconfident, they slipped out of first place and on the last day of the season were overtaken by the Seattle Anglers, finishing third. Miami continued to show they were for real, beating the strong Seattle club 4 games to 2 in the division series. Miami CF Rahman Hamal hit a HR in each of the final two games to clinch it.

CBL Championship: Excitement was in the air for Miami, seeing the playoffs for the first time and then advancing to the championship series. But they shouldn't have expected any mercy from the Citadel who were suffering a drought of their own. Miami stormed out of the gate, winning the first two games at Houston and then a third at home, but fiery Houston manager Toshiaki 'Toad' Kato held a team meeting in their Miami hotel that inspired the crew to fight back, and they won the next three games to set up a final confrontation in Houston. Kato's speech wasn't enough, and the Miami offense was too much for the Houston pitchers. Miami's first trip to the playoffs became a story they will never forget, one in which they became champions in the final chapter. Rookie pitcher Ben Sietsma was named the series MVP.

SP Chris Morgan of the Buffalo Argent was named Best Pitcher, and Portland Stags SS Josh Irby collected his 2nd MVP award.

Boshnack didn't last long in Portland.
