Call a pro shop in a local rink close to you if there is one, they’ll probably be able to do it.

It could only have been one of two people, and I can pretty confidently guess which one, and it would be somehow even less intimidating.

Also Ricardo Velez and Darlin Moquette.

The number of wins they would improve from having Gray vs. not having him is smaller than the number they hope to improve by in future years by trading him. It’s that simple.

Veneziano and Thompson are both minor league free agents.

Fermín is out of options. Prieto has two.

Did they spontaneously generate a Vlad Jr. when I wasn’t paying attention?

I would be between surprised and stunned if Roycroft was. Coaching staff’s belief in his stuff is real and he has an option. Prieto would also be a surprise, because if that was the plan, why bother adding him at the end of the year? Not like he really got a shot and couldn’t hack it.

I noticed because there's some discounted ticket packs going on sale Friday. There's a Masyn Winn bobblehead on the schedule, a David Eckstein bobblehead, and something described as a "Stan Musial Navy bobblehead," which could be cool. Three TBD bobbles as well.
