2 August 2296 – Radstags Cut Thinker
The Concord Radstags have made a couple of moves after left fielder Thinker Brown got into a clash with teammates and management.
Brown verbally assaulted several teammates on the practice field, stating that the Radstags would be playing better if he were in the starting lineup. Brown went especially hard at backup center fielder Cram Garge, who manages outfield rotations.
Concord has been eliminated from the playoffs and will not see the postseason in 2296. It is currently 23-31 with six games to play.
Concord owner Sturges Freeman released a statement: “We had an unfortunate incident with a player expressing his frustration in the wrong way. We’re a team. We do this together. We win together, we lose together. That level of blame is unacceptable, and we have removed the young man from the team.”
In Brown’s place, the Radstags signed free agent outfielder Rich Vendor. Vendor has not played this season. He was drafted in the 25th round by the Finch Farm Four Leafs, but he was cut before the season began. He had not signed with a team since then.
Brown played in 34 games for the Radstags, starting seven. He was 12 for 41 at the plate for a .293 average. He had one home run, seven runs scored, six runs batted in, eight walks, and 10 strikeouts in 51 plate appearances.
3 August 2296 - Jamaica Plain Reveals 2297 Plans
Kasumi Nakano, owner of Red Rocket and now the Jamaica Plain Treasures, revealed the plans for the current Jamaica Plain Treasures for the 2297 season.
In a general assembly at the Jamaica Plain Town Hall, Nakano revealed the team's uniforms for the Jamaica Plain Red Rockets and its 2297 minor league affiliate the Haymarket Mall Commandos. Although the CBO's minor league system has not been fully fleshed out, there are some places that are known and what their parent teams will be.
For the Minutemen League, their minor league system will be in and around Downtown Boston, including Haymarket Mall.
Nakano also presented the Red Rockets Stadium banner. Nakano noted that she was adding an 's' to the name of the stadium in Jamaica Plain as opposed to the company name, Red Rocket, so that the team was highlighted over the company. All accompanying pictures are below.
