In an attempt to shore up their pitching staff Cedar Rapids have signed right hander Satchel Paige. Carl Hubbell was demoted from the active roster after struggling this year in the bullpen, and Jeff Pfeffer moves to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for Paige.

Texarkana continues to stay clear of the relegation zone hanging somewhat in the middle of the pack, but are currently playing sub 500 ball in diamond. Their bank balance continues to grow with the sale this evening of some historical diamonds pushing them to 680k. Cedar Rapids also made some sales, but also spent some points to finish off the rest of the Paige mission.
