"Where's" Oswaldo Cabrera
Man up and vanished, like a fart in the wind (cut with draftable card):
Adolis "Adonis" Garcia (well hello for final time, Mrs. Cabrera)
Gio "Ursula The Sea Witch" Urshela
"Jesse" Tyler Ferguson
Osvaldo "We" Bido "Adieu"
Justyn-Henry Malloy (never trust a dude with two first names, especially one that can't spell Justin correctly)
Ben "Rorschach Test" Rortvedt
Cut, but non-draftable card:
Yimi "Yummy" Garcia
The Loggers would like to bid adieu to a true Adonis, former first round pick Adolis Garcia. Manning the cleanup spot for Maine for four years, Garcia was a true professional, and we hope he finds a home in the waiver draft with a team that Maine meets 11 times, so we can give him a proper send-off when he comes to Augusta this summer. We also say Bah-Bye to Gio Urshella. At one point, Urshella was an on-base machine who could give you stellar defense at third base. He hung on as the Loggers 16th or 17th protected list player the past few years, but age has gotten the best of him - good luck in your new job as a retired 36-year old, or Door Dash delivery man, Gio.
The Loggers look like a possible contender in 2026, but have some work to do in the draft. As always, we leave you with a nod to our heritage, the 1907 Maine Loggers.....
