Marty Marion Bolts for Rival League, Mundys Sign Free Agent Shortstop
In the aftermath of Port Ruppert's defeat at the hands of OL champ the Nowhere Men, 3-games-to-1, in the PT playoffs, shortstop Marty Marion has signed with a rival league. The Mundys were quick to respond, inking free agent Dave Concepcion to a multi-year deal.
GM Ulysses Fairsmith indicated that talks had gone smoothly on an extension of Marion's current deal and the Mundys poobah was surprised by the development. He said, "The last thing I heard from Marty was that he'd sign right after the playoffs. I guess he just got bowled over by a big offer." Fairsmith was quick to point out that the other league was not BFF. "No, no way that could happen. We have a mutual respect and admiration for BFF and they have never signed an OL player, and we have never interfered with their operation." The rival league was not identified.
Manager Luke Gofannon was pleased by the rapid response of the front office to the defection. "Davey's gonna be a solid addition to the team. We think he'll replace Marion and then some. We do wish Mary well."
As the team wrapped up the 2024 season, it was announced that Doc White and Mel Harder were recalled from the Kakoola Reapers and were expected to be tried in the rotation next season with Carl Hubbell and Irv Young shifting to the bullpen. Casey Janssen and Joakim Soria were sent to the Aceldama Butchers to make room.
There's a shot at an all OL World Series in I222. The PT playoffs so far:
