After another bruising loss in the Championship Series the fans of the Blues were looking for the team to find the right player to help them win it all. What they get instead is an expansion draft to remove players from the club. The fans were left watching with baited breathe to confirm one of their favourites didn't get pulled away from the club.
In the end the team lost a total of 28 players. The most notable losses was Short Stop Jim Snyder. The full list of players lost is given below.
Hopefully the fans will see some decent replacements picked up in the first year player draft in November. We will bring you all the news of the draft once it has been completed.
