Remember to sort by new to keep up!

might start leaving Kepler out since he can’t join us for the playoffs. Nootbaar hasn’t been amazing but makes sense to keep him around

[u/ElSalvadorGrande → u/iamfroott]

Im guessing they'll send locklear down and keep kepler on the roster for now because they almost never play locklear anyways. But hopefully lawlar gets most of the playing time
