Signed free agent CF Lao Kum to a minor league contract with a major league option.
- The one-time Hustler returns. With a Spring Training invite, will try to make the team as a reserve outfielder. He played the most in the BBA he ever had in 2056 with Jacksonville, and was not very good at the plate but fine in the field.

Signed free agent CF Barry Kelly to a 1-year contract worth a total of $700,000.
- I know, he's just a power bat, an all or nothing hitter. He can barely play center field. He's been injured, like a lot. When we originally got him from Nashville we had absolutely no interest in him, he was just a salary throw-in. Now we're like borderline obsessed with the guy based off of a 37 at-bat sample from last year, which just goes to show that even "the Great Recte" makes irrational decisions.

Signed free agent RF Kosho Kondo to a minor league contract with a major league option.
- Of all these signees designed to find center field depth (or even competition to be the starter), Kondo seems the most legit contender for meaningful playing time. He's a legit center-fielder, an uber-elite corner outfielder. He has played some second base, has outstanding speed, and seems like the logical platoon fit vs. lefties with Murad Abdul-Alim against righties.

Signed free agent LF Dave Barnett to a minor league contract with a major league option.
- Great eye, team leader. That's what he's expected to bring to the plate as a player/coach type for Milwaukee (RHML/AAA).

Signed free agent RP John Parker to a minor league contract with a major league option.
- Things to like about Parker- 13 overall stuff, elite fastball and sinker. Good movement against righties. Things not to like: Control lacks. He will be eaten alive by left-handed hitting
