Planning a 2 team, multiple game, multiple day workout to see players in the Northwest.

Rosters will be listed here:

From 2016-2019 Joe Torre moved over 160 players from Free Agency or Lower Leagues to the Pacific Association. In 2019, we moved 26 players to MLB Partner Leagues and from that era, you can lookup the players that are still playing and thriving in both Indy Ball and the MLB. Jordan Brink moved on from Pittsburg to Southern Illinois in 2018 and spent the rest of his career in the Minor Leagues and Joe Jones is with the Toronto Blue Jays, his 3rd club since leaving in the PAC in 2018 (Martinez)

The now-Pacific is the Pecos, but you can look back at the damage we did helping players while we were on the left coast. Covid changed all that and the Pacific was dead, and we transitioned over to the East Coast out of a Frontier League Ballpark, where we have been able to move over 500 players to MLB Partner Leagues since then.
