Good morning and welcome to another day of the Frenzy. Though it is getting to be more of a waiting game…there are still some good UFA’s out there. The rumors are still flying and teams are trying to position themselves to get those players that can make a difference. There may even be a bombshell or two (offer sheet or big signing) before the July 4th holiday weekend. At any rate, always expect the unexpected.
As signings, trades, and news happens, we will try to get it out there as fast as we can with it being right of course. So enjoy the day then tomorrow enjoy the BBQ’s!
