Former Weasel Warrior RHP Deolis Guerra was signed by the Hopot Buccaneers last night to a two-year contract. His contract is worth 12,250 million and his average salary is 6,125 million. He was 5-4 while playing in 69 games and having a 2.92 ERA. He has played for Tookus Tigers and Dumpling Dragons in a seven year career.
