Roxbury Holding onto Secret
The Roxbury Knuckle Punchers organization has been working on a secret project at Atomatoys Stadium at Roxbury in the last week, refusing to reveal what the remodeling project is about.
The stadium's inside area has been locked and blocked, guarded by security for team owner Arlen Glass. The outside entrance banner has also been covered, making some speculate big changes to come.
Currently, the General Manager position is unfilled for the Knuckle Punchers after Glass fired GM Kyle Wolf. In three seasons, the Knuckle Punchers have gone from a .500 team to winning just 29 of 108 games in 2298 and 39 in 2299.
All contact with the Roxbury team has gone to the owner's office, where their official comment is "No ****ing comment. You'll know when we tell you."

The Lexington GM told reporters, "I think this trade is beneficial to everyone involved, including the players."
