Ah, Shucks! He's going to Nebraska
Justin Edwards won't be pitching for the Wild Things this year. That was a given because he aged out of the Frontier League after last season.He also won't be playing in Pennsylvania this summer, though he did finish last season with the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League.
Edwards recently signed a contract to pitch for the Lincoln Saltdogs of the American Association. I'm not sure how he ended up going from York to Lincoln because of last week he was still listed on York's roster on the Revolution's website. He's gone from the roster now, but the league doesn't list a transaction involving Edwards.
Edwards played three seasons in Washington. He appeared in 84 games including 22 starts. He had a 14-10 record, 3.56 ERA and struck out 213 in 230 innings. The 213 strikeouts is second on the Wild Things' all-time list.

Mike Pinto, manager of the Southern Illinois Miners, passed along this note about Atlantic League players:
The Atlantic League does not have option years in their contracts. All of their players are free agents Dec 31 of each year. The rights only remain with a team WITHIN their league. So, a player cannot go from York to Lancaster, but a player can go from York to any other team in any other league.
