News Galore as We Approach the CBO Draft
News of Note
18 October - Sunshine-Oberland Trade: The Oberland T-51s sent CF Ricky Ticky Laughy, RF B.J. Perez, and three draft picks (3rd, 5th, and 6th) to the Sunshine Tidings in exchange for two draft picks (1st and 7th).
19 October - UP Sends Prospects to Acadia: The University Point Deathclaws sent two prospects--2B Whear Flynn and CF Kyle Quickfingers--to the Acadia Acadians (VimL) for 29-year-old pitcher Justin Mire. Mire was 8-6 with a 3,57 ERA in 21 starts for the Acadians in 2301. He was also Acadia's 1st-round pick in the Vim! League Inaugural Draft in 2300.
23 October - Diamond City's Grognak Removed from HCU Set: Diamond City Swatters Mike Grognak was removed from a bit role he was playing in the HCU's filming of the second season of the Grognak the Barbarian series. DC's Grognak kept repeatedly kept answering, "What?" and "I'm Grognak!" when the antagonist Grelok (played by Kip Mackburger) yelled at the character Grognak the Barbarian (played by Quentin Filmore). HCU representatives said that they would consider using the Swatters' Grognak in a different series that does not involve Grognak the Barbarian.
24 October - Finch Farm's Finch to Give Team to Son: Finch Farm owner Abraham Finch announced today that he would start the process of giving away his property to his sons so that he could bask in the greenlight. Abraham Finch plans to split his properties to each of his two sons. The older Daniel Finch will take over ownership of the Finch family's farm, while the younger Jake Finch will take control of the CBO's Four Leafs team. They did not announce the exact date of the switch over, but it is expected that official paperwork may be filed with the league by January 1.
26 October - Hayjen Injured: CBO Most Valuable Player for 2301, Vault 81's Aesed Hayjen was injured today in an undisclosed accident. He could miss up to six months with a nerve injury in his neck. Team trainer Sam Monahan said that owner, Dr. Jacob Forsythe will consider surgery if it can prepare Hayjen to play in the 2302 season.
28 October - New Train Lines Nearer to Completion: The Commonwealth Transit Commission (CTC) announced today that the expected completion of train rails between Oberland and Egret is expected to be completed by late 2302. CTC Commissioner Davis Choochoo stated that there would be limited back-and-forth rail runs in which they would like to have trial passenger runs as early as September of next year. Currently, the trains run from Bedford Station to Oberland Station, which has reduced creature injuries by 200%. With the addition of the new stations opening, most of the Commonwealth would be acessible through planned city busses.
