"Professional" Baseball team trades 9 players, releases 14 others

Doubt it's Double-A level. Over the summer they get 3-4 guys who sign with real organizations and get sent to Class-A. The rest of them are just playing for fun.

 

Their announcer rips the team after a broadcast, and quits:

too bad Schaumburg and Rockford are gone. place i used to work both of those teams would fax over every move, pretty much when they named the batboy they'd have a release. if more teams followed whoever those pr guys/gals were it would be a lot better.

 

My area has a Frontier League team. Was successful at first, then the owner decided he wanted to make money off the team. End result? They now do not even have a media relations person. The press box is worse than a high school football game for cheering and good luck getting any statistics or even game boxes for the paper. Went from fairly well-run to a total joke because the owner wanted to go cheap and did not think the media was going to make much of a difference. Real brilliant.
