1967 Spring Training
The Diamonds will play Montreal in the spring opener today. The team was relatively quiet in the off season opting to sign a few role players. Sebastian Vautier declined the qualifying offer and became a free agent. There was a brief bidding contest with Paris that the Artists eventually won, as they inked Sebastian to a 4 year deal with some of those big Parisian euros.
Le Diamant will get a compensatory pick at the end of the first round. Vautier would have been the #4 or #5 starter so the Diamonds are not distraught about losing him, even though he was a solid player.
Here are the line ups for the spring opener
