The Oakland Ballers, a new independent baseball team, are set to open their inaugural training camp
The Oakland Ballers, a new independent baseball team, are set to open their inaugural training camp in just three weeks. However, they've already experienced a bittersweet moment as one of their players, hard-throwing reliever Danny Kirwin, was snatched up by the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.
The Ballers had recently posted a video showcasing Kirwin's impressive fastball, which clocked in at a sizzling 98 mph. This caught the attention of the Red Sox, who wasted no time in signing the promising young pitcher.
