2016 player promotions will be moving on a record pace this year. With Empire Camp barely completed, we can officially DO WHAT WE ARE HERE TO DO!
Congratulations to Johnny Cole and Nick Lombardi. Signed to TRUE contracts out of Empire camp with Quebec Capitales of CanAm League, Southern Illinois Miners of the Frontier League. Both Johnny and Nick were set to make the Watertown Bucks Rostert before being shipped away.

“This is what this league is all about, moving guys to better opportunities in professional baseball. These guys are great ball players and they deserved it. Congratulations and Good Luck to both of them.” Eddie Gonzalez Director of Business Operations

Just days after arriving at the 2016 Empire League Camp, Derrick Pyles who played for the Explorers last season was moved up to the CanAm independent professional baseball league. The move was made very late shortly after the Explorers had drafted Pyles to become a power hitting first baseman.

Managers and staff gathered for a photo opp as Derrick prepared to leave for Canada.

“This guy deserves it. He showed last year that he can play at this level and then he moved up and played well. When you do things like that we can get you back up there. Derrick didn’t have a place to play to start this year, now he is headed to the CanAm to continue his career. Happy for him!” Eddie Gonzalez Director of Baseball Operations

Pyles played in the Atlantic League following his season with the Explorers. He will be with the Quebec Capitales in the Outfield.
