Media analysts hailed Minas Morgul’s signing of Ibpug the Badger, one of Tolkien Baseball’s brightest stars, as a pivotal move.
While the deal is certain to raise a few eyebrows, the Badger is expected to earn every bit of the $132,000,000 promised him over 6 years.
This year the Badger has posted a record of 5 wins and 6 losses with a 4.50 ERA. He has appeared in 20 games and struck out 95 in 100 innings.
