Lupin Internal Data Revealed!

April 18, 2022—One would think that fielding a division-leading team would be enough for the Lupin Cliff Hangers to clear their slate of the cloud of controversy that has hung over them like the fog of whacky-smoke over Colorado. The team has weathered a semi-public brouhaha between the GM and owner. It has dealt with a young outfielder who was taken to task for partying and being a chick magnet after a dismal season. Earlier this year, the Cliff Notes, a blog reporting on goings-on within the Lupin club, released a scathing article that outlined the depths to which the scouting office was miffed due to what they perceived as a budgeting affront, and even went so far as to suggest that the team’s 58-year-old scouting director Tomatsu Yoshida was considering departing for any pasture that might someday be green.

Today, despite a 9-5 start that has the Cliff Hangers baseball team leading its division, these ugly rumors were given a bump when it was found that sensitive documents created inside various departments of Lupin’s organization has found their way into the public eye, released in seemingly random packets by newspapers around the country.

“I don’t know anything about that,” said GM Ron Collins when a reporter cornered him on the train into work this morning. Collins immediately made a call and began whispering sharply into his set, holding one hand over his mouth as if he were a catcher visiting a suddenly sizzling mound.

As the news has spread, we are learning that the alleged source is one Edmund P. Knowitallden, who until recently (one assumes) held an unpaid internship within the club’s scouting organization. The dossiers we’ve seen so far consist of detailed conversations about Lupin and its rival organizations within the Cliff Hanger’s own Rising Sun division, with assessments of the relative strengths and weakness of each organization in pretty much every element of baseball operations. Some are suggesting they were created in preparation for the PEBAverse Winter Meetings, though the scope and magnitude of the documentation would seem to suggest a broader range of work.

While the information is being published across numerous news sources, we will be acting as a central collector in order to bring it all together so that you—the overworked masses who don’t have time to use Google—can absorb the entirety of the story.

Stay tuned, my friends. Stay tuned.
