Where do the Knights go from here? Rumor Mill...

Los Angeles, CA - The Knights season took a sharp turn for the worse recently when it was revealed after Sunday's loss that the Knights would be without Tony Sulser till August 25th and Rod Boaz through the rest of the season. In a press conference late Thursday afternoon it was learned that the Knights have been in contact with former Knights and also are looking abroad at the possibility of bringing in a Japanese pitcher from the Yokomura league which the Knights have strong ties too.

But the most recent development has been that of Josh Eveland. Nicknamed the "Unit" for his height and likeness to Randy Johnson, Eveland has come close to playing for the Knights in the past but when the front office and his agent couldn't come to an agreement he went elsewhere. The 6'7 hurler has been contacted and it would seem the Knights would have to meet his price as it's no secret they are in dire straights.

More on this as it develops...

UPDATE: The SC Knights news organization has learned that within the last hour Eveland's agent Scott Borass has been contacted and an offer has been made.

Borass' office has no comment.
