@BushmanBg9 @markvonruden Good point.

@TheFedMN @markvonruden The anonymous suggestions are supposed to be at least mildly unhinged though, aren’t they?🤷‍♂️😂😂😂

@TheFedMN baseball friends: What was something that stood out to you last year or something you were impressed by? What’s something you look forward to this upcoming year?

@Kri5Minor Better than mine.

@TheFedMN Oh good, my stellar 2025 stat line… 😂

PSA to all my @TheFedMN brethren: you’re nearly thru another brutal MN offseason/winter… don’t eff it up now! 😂#WatchYourStep

@markvonruden @BushmanBg9 These comments are way more positive than the anonymous suggestions in the players poll. 😂 🌈

@BushmanBg9 @TheFedMN For sure. Opening weekend of playoffs when everyone is having beers at the field watching each others games is one of my favorite weekends of the year. So much fun. Such good baseball.

💩💨 (NSFW) Only 5️⃣ Sundays until Fed Opener. ⚾️

@KingofJUCO if you want to strike out against the best 39 year old pitcher in Minnesota amateur baseball, I’m available in Tempe till Saturday!

@BetMGM @TownballJesus North Arkansas Jayhawks?

Don't even think about a West Coast team in your bracket 🤣

Just dropped a new design in my TeePublic store. Check out it. Tees, hoodies, stickers, etc. (check the tabs at the bottom of the page). Lots of other designs, too. Support baseball in Cambodia. teepublic.com/t-shirt/891054…

@VsLotTeam @sorney What if that simple “design a fighting tuna baseball logo” prompt was the beginnings of Skynet. Thanks Sorenson. 🤖💥

@sorney @TheFedMN I figured so.

So, sadly, officially done playing in the @TheFedMN this year. The past 17 years have been awesome!!! Moving on to the TCMABL with the Fightin Tunas. Took the liberty of stealing an Individual record from the Fed, but I think it's ok: tcmabl.com/teams/default.…

@markvonruden @TheFedMN Not including the @TheFedMN playoffs of course

The WBC is some of the most fun and exciting baseball you will see all year. If you aren’t watching you are missing out.

It's here the 2026 Federal League Preseason Poll. Vote. 🗳️ Your opinion matters. ⚾️ form.jotform.com/260740620332042

LUMBERJACKS 🪓⚾️🏆‼️

@TheRedDog12 @TheFedMN @MtkaSaints @TCSnappers Heath and Scotty D are huge grabs!! Honestly think that squad is an easy bet for deep AAA contention this year and going forward…apparently I’m not great at recruiting🫣

@TheFedMN @MtkaSaints @TCSnappers Love that Scott Davis is in the league! Bushman has been running around uncontested as best teammate in the league. @BushmanBg9

We promised more transaction action (Kyler Murray who?) from the @MtkaSaints and @TCSnappers and here we go with the details and numbers from the Federal Leagues biggest offseason moves so far. Scott Davis Catcher Bloomington Bandits >>> Minnetonka Saints Longtime Catcher for the former Bloomington Bandits finds a new home with the Minnetonka Saints. Davis was also a longtime member of the TCMBAL Cardinals batting .285 with 153 hits, 128 RBI and 132 runs in 199 games played. Fun fact, Scott was teammates with the leagues newly elected commish Cliff Christopherson of Rosemount, even hitting a double in a 2-0 win over Burnsville in a Christopherson no-hitter back in 2013. Jeff Heath Infield Minneapolis River Rats >>> Minnetonka Saints This Irondale graduate has spent many years on the baseball diamond, including stops at Century College, Grandview University doing most of his work on the mound. Heath joined up with the Tri-City Shark then moved on to the Minneapolis River Rats. He also spent the last eight summers with the TCMBAL Cardinals hitting .407, 10 homeruns, 109 RBI and 135 runs in 131 games. He also has a 14-1-6 record on the bump, with a 1.77 ERA with 155 strikeouts in 110 innings. When not playing baseball Heath is coaching baseball with the Minnesota Icemen travel baseball program. Mike Shanor Outfield Lakeville Lobos >>> St Louis Park Snappers Shanor is the third player from the Lobo to Snapper switch following Larsen and Stolhanske. This Edison graduate spent summers with the Metro Merchants in the Park National and the St Boni Saints in the CRV. More recently Shanor hit .467 with 6 RBI in eight games with the Lobos last season. He also led the TCMABL Knights in RBIs with 15 and was second in runs scored with 9 while hitting .333 in eleven games last summer. Before his stints with the Lobos and Knights, Shanor spent twelve seasons with the Minnoka Grays hitting .404 while scoring 152 runs, 142 RBI and 145 stolen bases. Mike will add depth and experience to the Snappers roster.
