GM Goldberg, "We may not re-sign OKC stars"

GM Goldberg reported, after a tough 2-2 series split in Regina in which OKC star CL Martin Griffin blew a SAVE in game #1 to set the tone of the series;  that a few OKC stars may not be re-signed in the offseason.

Unable to reach extension agreements with OKC stars CL Martin Griffin, 1B Raul Gonzalez and OF Carlos Garcia continue to frustrate not only the owner but the fans in Oklahoma City.  It is rumoured that each player is seeking anywhere from $12-20M per season on long term contracts.  "We just don't have those funds to sign everyone!", stated GM Goldberg.  Asked if the reason they wouldn't sign Griffin is because he has lost 2 mph off the fastball of late, Goldberg shouted, "He is still one of the best out there".

Asked if there were any rumours to a blockbuster trade after this post season that would send at least 1 or maybe 2 of those players packing to one of the new owners of the BSA, Goldberg stated, "No Comment!".

GM Goldberg ended the conversation by saying, "our performance in the post season will go a long way determining which road we take in re-signing these players".  It is clear, produce or be shipped out is the new slogan in Oklahoma City under new management.  It is also clear that the minor league system is full of bright, young, future BSA stars just waiting for their chance to compete at the BSA Major League level.  Finally, it is clear that the available cash of some of these owners in the BSA is driving up the market for some aging veterans so it will be interesting to see what happens in the offseason.

Before then, OKC focuses on clinching a wild card playoff spot in the BSA.
