Thaira Lómebrildur returns - Strange Activity in Minors

Minas Morgul signed injured and declining outfielder Thaira Lómebrildur today to a 2.7 million gold contract for 1 season - in which she won't play. It was an interesting move mainly because she won't play at all until next season, which means that the Slayers will likely try to bring her back.

"We figure that she could help us out. The offense isn't playing well anyway, and we have plenty of payroll room to work with so it's a no-lose situation for us. Might as well give her a chance to do something for us in the near future." K.L. spoke.

Of course, how much she'll want from her new team, assuming their bad record doesn't turn her completely off, remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen what will happen should she not want to talk about an extension with this team.

"I don't know what they are thinking. I mean, yeah, it doesn't hurt them - they have the money and all that, but she's not worth the trouble. So what if she used to be here before?" One fan spoke.

In other news the Slayers' minor league system has been showing strange activity lately. Much speculation has gone on about what's going on down there. Reports of druids and dryads being seen in the dugouts, throwing out first pitches, etc. abound.

"I'm going to have someone check it out. I don't normally like anything out of the ordinary going on in the minors so we'll just have to see what turns up and what the purpose is." K.L. commented.

So far, nothing malicious has been reported and it might just be curious fans becoming a little too curious - or perhaps someone has order an impromptu tryout down on the farm.
