The Cyclones turned out to be not only run on a pittance of a budget, but appeared also too broke to accept a gift, which made the dealing for Rich Monck in late January a bit hard. Monck of course wasn’t making A LOT of money, and so there was no way to send much of a contract back to Cincy. Prospects, please! That was perhaps also part of the reason why they wanted to part with Mike Dean, a fairly nothing reliever that nevertheless only played for almost nothing, which was a lot of wasted money when you could find 23-year-olds that would pitch for actually nothing.

January 25 – The Crusaders sign ex-VAN SP Jeff Kozloski (59-79, 4.22 ERA) for four years and $26.3M.
January 26 – After renting him out to Vegas for half a season, the Titans re-sign 33-year-old SP Will Glaude (76-64, 3.43 ERA) to a 4-year, $27.6M contract.
January 30 – The Thunder also pick up a former division rival in ex-CHA C Luis Miranda (.264, 111 HR, 697 RBI) to a 3-year, $19.2M.

Besides this, the Thunder also signed up ex-Coon Mike Lane for $1.2M while I was back and forth on the phone with Cincy over this pitcher or that pitcher in a trade for … and I don’t think we’ll gonna get him in the end. This is only to get the fanbase all riled up and crazy.
