Finch has asked for help from the CBO to help make payroll in the last few months, stating that proceeds from his father Abraham Finch's farm is not enough to finance the team.

Nate Howard has not responded publicly about the situation, but the chances of Finch Farm moving after this season is a probability. Outside of Nahant, there are few current populations with a ready stadium. The nearest population that could support a team is Malden, but many of the fans there opt to follow County Crossing instead.

The farm settlements have found themselves losing more settlers than they have gained in recent years. There are a few exceptions of places that have maintained a nice-sized population, including the previously-mentioned County Crossing area which is also home to a large storage warehouse and goods store, Sunshine Tidings, and Oberland. Sunshine Tidings has shaped itself into a resort town, and Oberland has the Beantown Brewery nearby for many of its residents to work.
Big news! Finch Farm is pretty bad, but they do have Orcin Cardinal. A new fanbase could get behind him
