New ownership has arrived in Denver to take over the foundering Colorado Everest franchise in the Classic Baseball Union (CBU).  The new brain trust will face an immediate financial crisis that threatens to throw the team into deep debt for a long time.  The sometimes unrealistic arbitration process in place in the CBU has resulted in a team payroll of in excess of $112 million.  That is $12 million over the league salary cap, and even more dauntingly, it is $22 …

COLORADO – Outfielder Justin O’Day has finally signed a $ 71.4 Million contract to play for the Colorado Everest.

BURLINGTON — The Colorado Everest and Burlington Phishheads just finalized their second deal of the inaugural season; Burlington shipping 26-year-old power-hitting first baseman Tim Lee and AAA starter Dave Drader west for prized shortstop prospect Tim Stewart and third baseman Zach Shaffer.

The Colorado Everest, looking to beef up their rotation for the stretch run, have added veteran lefty Salvador Roman from the Burlington Phishheads.
Roman, 32, has a 6-5 record and a 4.32 ERA for the last-place Burlington squad. The trade had reportedly been in the works two weeks ago, but Burlington had a good stretch and was in contention, so hesitated before pulling the trigger on their No. 2 starter with a division title still in sight.
But a 3-11 start to June left GM Larry Hockett with no illusions about his …

After finishing May with a bang, a 3-game sweep of the Redbank Bandits, the Colorado Everest improved their month record to 22-7 and still heralded as the best team in baseball (34-16 overall).
