Flyng Squirrels Opener

New ownership. A new face of the franchise...(the fierce rodent means business.) New owner Adam L. Anson deliberated for seconds upon minutes before arriving at the new name for the franchise...and in a moment of mediocre brilliance, the Springfield Flying Squirrels of Republic came into existence. No more Springfield Slammers and no more contracts to guys like Jeff Francoeur. New ownership plans to look at all trade offers and is ready to bring this franchise from the land of mediocrity to the ranks of the elite.
