League Wide Cutdown Day

While Chillicothe and Washington were opening their season with the earliest opener in league history, every other team in the league had to trim their spring training roster to a maximum of 28 by the end of practice today...You can always follow the updates by looking at each team's roster or by checking out the transactions link on the Frontier League website...Noteable moves from around the league included Evansville's letting go catcher Gavin Concepcion, who caught for league champion Windy City last season...Evansville also severed ties with Ryan Rachal, who posted 109 at bats for the Otters in the outfield last season...Midwest also made several cuts, dropping Judson Smith, who started seven games for the Sliders last year on the mound...It appears as though most teams have one or two more cuts to make before Wednesday...

The plan for the Beach Bums is to finalize the roster tomorrow...Currently there are 27 players on the roster with the league maximum for opening day standing at 24...
