Jul 21 2060: Yukon Yellow Jackets: Determined to Rise from the Bottom, Unveils Ambitious Action Plan - by Lew on July 14th, 2023

Whitehorse, July 14th — The Yukon Yellow Jackets have encountered a challenging season in 2060. Despite the fans' high hopes after securing a 3rd place finish in 2058 and an impressive 2nd place in 2059, the team has unexpectedly found themselves at the bottom of the East halfway through the current season. However, General Manager Lucera AKA "Lew" and Manager Andrew Kohn have made it clear that they have no intention of giving up.

We analyzed our performance, and we asked ourselves why we were languishing in last place despite having all the necessary tools to succeed. We faced a crucial decision: should we abandon this season and shift our focus to the future?"

However, the resolute GM emphasized that they refuse to give up on the 2060 season. Despite being eight games behind, GM Lucera expressed her commitment to turning the team's fortunes around. "It wouldn't be fair to Calvin or Enrique, with this being their last year, and it wouldn't be fair to our fans who have stuck with us through thick and thin," she declared with conviction. "Andrew and I have formulated an action plan, both for our current roster and the team's future. We refuse to settle for a last-place finish. We are here to win."

Apr 07 2059: Yellowjackets Buzz with Excitement as 2059 Season Takes Flight - by Lew on March 31st, 2023

Yukon Yellowjackets Show Strong Start to 2059 Season

Yukon, Canada - The Yukon Yellowjackets are off to a great start in the 2059 season, currently sitting atop the East division with a 7-3 record. This comes after a disappointing end to the 2058 season, where they finished third in the East division with a record of 83-77.

Despite the team's struggles in 2058, three Yellowjackets players - Montano, Churchill, and Cuevas - made the all-star team, with Montano even being a contender for league MVP. In addition, Degeno won the gold glove in his final season with the team, and last but not least, Ho was named rookie pitcher of the year!

As the new season began, Yukon's GM Lew made some tough decisions, releasing Degeno, Cuevas, and Flores. According to Lew, "their pieces no longer fit the puzzle." These moves were necessary to create space for new players and improve the team's overall performance.

The Yellowjackets' strong start to the season is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team's players and staff. GM Lew remains optimistic that the team can carry this momentum through the rest of the season and compete for a playoff spot.

"We've got a great group of guys who are committed to winning," Lew said. "We're taking it one game at a time, but I believe we have what it takes to make a deep playoff run this year."

The Yellowjackets will look to continue their winning ways as they take on the rest of the league in the coming weeks. Fans can follow the team's progress on social media and the official Yukon Yellowjackets website.
