"We took a big gamble in order to help manage the Salary Cap," explained assistant GM Cisco Arreola, pictured above with the look of relief after Rudge re-signed. "Recte gave me one job, and that was to make sure we could essentially restructure Tom's deal. Thankfully it worked out, otherwise Recte said I would be shopping for a job elsewhere."

Rudge, for what it's worth. seemingly had bigger offers elsewhere but little interest in moving on from the Hustlers. "This is my team, and I don't abandon ship," explained the 38 year old star. "Cisco set me up so if I play well, and more importantly stay healthy, I can actually make a little more money than I would have on the old deal. I also have all of this sweet cologne money coming in, so I'm good. I told Cisco to use some of the money up front and get us some pitching. He said he didn't know if Recte was going to let him do another damn thing all offseason but the people in the front office who are actually allowed to do something certainly would find some pitching. Cisco's a funny dude, I tell you."
