BREAKING NEWS: Savannah Bananas Star Dakota “Stilts” Albritton Rejects \$150 Million MLB Offers to Stay Loyal to Banana Ball
In one of the most stunning developments in modern baseball history, Dakota “Stilts” Albritton — the towering fan-favorite of the Savannah Bananas — has turned down a staggering \$150 million in combined offers from two of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises: the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees.
At 6’10”, Albritton is not only a commanding presence on the mound but also a symbol of the Bananas’ larger-than-life brand of baseball. His refusal to jump to the big leagues has sent shockwaves through the sport, sparking heated debate among fans, analysts, and players alike.
While many athletes dream of the MLB stage and the financial security that comes with it, Albritton explained his decision in simple terms: loyalty. “The Bananas aren’t just a team — they’re a family, a movement, and a revolution in how baseball is played and enjoyed,” he said in a heartfelt statement. “For me, it’s not about the money. It’s about the fans, the joy, and the future we’re building.”
The decision has divided the baseball world. Traditionalists argue that passing up the MLB is a wasted opportunity, while others applaud Albritton for staying true to his values and helping elevate Banana Ball into a legitimate global phenomenon.
Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole praised the move, calling it “a landmark moment in sports history” and proof that the team’s mission — to make baseball fun and accessible for all — is resonating at the highest levels.
For the Bananas, this isn’t just a victory in retaining a star player. It’s a statement to the world: loyalty, creativity, and joy can outweigh even the biggest paychecks in professional sports.
