February 2022 Transactions

The big teams have already wrapped up their offseason business, and it's time for those looking for scraps to pounce.

February 1:

Hokrof sign on former Chilka (SSL, tier 4) SP Ekana Sesho for six years at a flat $2 million each year. Probably a good bet at the back of a rotation, but he has never pitched in the EL (age 24).

February 6:

Kupore signed 12 pitchers within the month of February alone, with a couple who are going to be rotation pieces. The first, and best, of those is a one-year deal for former Akashemo SP Losaka Werori. Werori is more than double the age of some of his teammates, at age 38, but has been quite steady the last couple years, making every start in 2020 and 2021 even with "Wrecked" injury status.

February 14:

The only major free agent domino to fall in February, Westline brings in C Epencho Posheni for four years and $24 million. Posheni has to settle for about half of what his salary was at Keleri, but at least he does have a job. Westline have had a great offseason, and look to be a top-half team if they can stay healthy, despite being newly promoted.

February 20:

A sentimental transaction for me, and one that starts with a short story. I was born in the year 1990, so I made sure to pause in the 2006-07 offseason to try to find a young player to track as if it were my own career. I didn't exactly find what I was looking for, so I picked a guy with the right background and goosed his potential a little bit. So help me, it's the only player edit I've actually done. Not enough for him to become an all-time great, I just wanted him to be interesting to watch.

So, the career of young LHP Uriyoko Tselsiko began. He was born in July 1990, the same day that I was, in the same city in which I picture myself living when I imagine what Lokasi is like (Aksa on the south coast), and he's left-handed like I am. So that was good enough for me to want to follow along – and this is where I decided to make him a little bit more of a prospect. He had started out with a team in the fifth tier, and then was traded down to tier 7 for a while. Tselsiko was always too good for that level (between 2011 and 2012, he threw eight no-hitters), so it was a huge blessing when his team was narrowly relegated from tier 6 in 2015, as it allowed him to opt out of his deal and move up to a higher level.

Uriyoko spent the next six years starring for the Sapoyo Tortoises of the Northern Premier League, leading their pitching staff and ranging from "quite good" to "elite" depending on the year. Still, he'd never pitched at a level higher than that, with Sapoyo narrowly missing promotion a couple of times. Until...

Westline acquires SP Uriyoko Tselsiko from the Sapoyo Tortoises for SP/RP Putta Toshamekoye and a prospect. Tselsiko, 31, looks to slot into the rotation right alongside Westline's other recent adds.

-----------------------------------------------

That's basically it for the offseason. Before we start, I want to do a full season preview - like I did on page 1, I'll go 5 teams at a time starting from the bottom. And, of course, a new season means a new map!
