Montreal Off-season getting started early.
Trimming the fat off of the Grizzlies as we prepare for another bottom 5 finish in the Friendship League, as the Grizzlies shared some similarities with the 2025 Tigers, as we had some elite pitching, but could not get the bats going to save our season, and for some, their jobs as ball players.
Without further ado, here is Montreal's WAY TOO SOON, but probable cuts.
Key: NC=No Card.

The rest will be like if a Grizz can hear a tree fall in the woods. (Again way too early but more than likely this list will not change much).
