OOTP decided Irish Cait was going to sell Starlight to some dude from Montana. Curious about that epic failure for the team during the season. That wasn't happening for her not to be the owner, so I made this a random event. Cait got back control of her team but decided to be ruthless with the failures that happened. Methinks there is more to this story!

18 September 2297 - Starlight Wastes No Time, Cleans House
Disappointed by her team's epic failure from battling for the top record in the CBO to missing the playoffs altogether, Starlight Lady Killers' owner Irish Cait decided the entire major-league staff had to go.
Of course, the two to take the most blame were general manager Bobby Childress and manager Tick Raid.
"I talked with Bobby and Tick and the first thing that kept coming out of their mouths was that they don't know," Cait said. "I told them I paid too much of me money for don't knows. I was apt to lop their ****ing heads off, but instead I let them go. I mean, our team became the hot tato."
The Lady Killers started the season 21-9, which was just one game back of Oberland at that time for the best record in the CBO. Lacking that killer instinct, they finished the season 7-23 to drop all the way into a fourth-place tie in the Institute League.
"I learned me lesson about the boys club," Cait said. "I would do it meself, but I don't want the boys to get their knickers in a bunch. So I'm going to hire some people with brass balls instead of eggshells."
The list of fired staff are:
GM Bobby Childress
DOC Dr. Soop Grinch
MGR Tick Raid
BC Adam Fields
PC Sam Sellers
HC Holger Fleming
Scout Josh Vandoor
"I was so frustrated," Cait said. "I wanted to sell. Hell, I wanted Jet. Then I just got angry. Tears rained."
18 September 2297 - Skipper Monitor Cut by Dwellers
A team source leaked the news to the press early this morning and it was confirmed in an afternoon press release: Vault 81 manager Crow Monitor has been fired.
Several analysts in the sports media have commented on the Dwellers lackadaisical play of late and it is widely expected that the team will hire a take-charge firebrand as Monitor's replacement.
One of the biggest issues was that Vault 81's two best players, power hitters Erns Gold and Deer Quickwalker, were critical of the small-ball mentality of Monitor. They were reportedly unhappy that the team led the CBO in sacrifice bunts in situations that did not call for it. Also hitting coach Menace Merwife was relieved of his duties.
Vault 81 GM Mike McGuire released a statement: "In a discussion with team owner Dr. Jacob Forsythe, and as a result of a players-only meeting, we came to an agreement that it was in the best interest of the Dwellers' future success to move on from Mr. Monitor and find a manager and hitting coach to fit the current makeup of our team. We look forward to becoming a winning organization."
