Hey, everyone, we've got two new owners.
Taking over the Denver franchise will be Michael Henderson, and taking over the Covington franchise will be Ian Morochnick. However, since Michael signed up first, I'm giving him the option of switching to the Covington franchise if he wants. Of course, both of them will have the option of relocating/renaming their franchises before the next season.
Welcome aboard guys!
One quick note:
Firstly, the deadline for re-signing your free agents will be Tuesday night, not Sunday as previously reported. This will give the new guys a chance to get acquainted with their rosters and decide who to re-sign and make offers.

UPDATE: Michael's going to be keeping Denver, so Ian will get Covington.
Welcome aboard, guys!
ReplyDeleteI'm Michael, the owner of the soon-to-be Los Angeles Scorpions. I'll be plenty active in the trading market once we flip to 2011, so look out for e-mails from me.
Welcome aboard indeed.
ReplyDeleteAnd, if you want someone to take a second look to see if Michael is trying to take advantage of you, just drop me an email.
:-)
And me on the two of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm now the two-time defending champion. Who needs trades?
ReplyDeleteWho needs trades? Teams that want to be three-time defending champions.
ReplyDeleteTrust me on that one.
My two-time defending champion team won its third championship via trades for Luis Jeon and Wendell Sorg before and during the 2006 season.
(You might remember that as the year you blew a 3-1 lead in the Cup to me.)

Heck, you had four starting players and one starting pitcher who were 36 or older. My oldest position player starter is Mr. Rawlins (35) and his replacement is already in the majors (the 27-year-old Lonnie Machen).
While we had both won titles the two prior years, I think it's pretty fair to say that the two teams' need are/were pretty different.
Number of championships won after second:
ReplyDeleteStockholm: 2
Seattle: Unknown
