Large file with a lot of new images. If any images are wrong (which happens a lot with two commishes and 50 seasons of gameplay) just PM/DM me the files and I will update when I SIM again.

Pawtucket signs lefty Omar Contreras in one of our classic strange under the radar signings. Should fill out our rotation as we plan on using him in matchup situations. Not a huge financial commitment to him so see how it pans out.

Offseason:

1B Fred 'Express' Ratley = should make our offense better?

SP Jon Jones / SP Omar Contreras= not sure this makes our staff better(Its probably worse), but maybe with some Funclown magic they will keep us in games. This team is really more about defense & bullpen at the end of each game.

We finished the offseason by adding 2B Tom Lewis. I didn't think he'd go for my offer, so I was a bit startled to see that he'd signed. 2 years, $18M total, though he can opt out of year 2 and so can I. He's out until July, but hopefully when he comes back he'll be a big addition to our lineup. When you score 1 run in an entire playoff series, you need all the help you can get.

I felt that I needed to add an infielder after Murata's disappointing season and injury that will keep him out of most of this year. That's why I signed Freddie Mangan earlier in the offseason. Now I have Lewis too, because I don't plan these things out. I think we can make it work.

In other Bat news, the shuffled Top Players list now has Pat Arballo as the #1 pitcher in the league. He's good, but not that good. Maybe it's a sign of a big year coming. Josh Allen also cracks the Top Hitters list at #20, the first time I've seen him on the list. Not bad for a UDFA.

Thanks Matt!!

Ricky Figueroa got a ratings bump and dropped off the Top 20. No love for Ricky.

Stokes might be second half Stokes all year if that pitcher ranking is right.

Hamada also up there. I wonder if Kendrick is close behind considering what the predictions think of him.

Also Jong is the second best pitching prospect in the league right now. If he can develop this year, we might have Stokes, Hamada, Jong for 2030.
