Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3981016, member: 2504"] The New London Day has a story on the Norwich Sea Unicorns, part of which talks about its players on temp contracts: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theday.com/local-sports/20210531/for-locals-on-sea-unicorns-roster-opening-day-at-dodd-brings-back-memories[/URL] "It's been nice and relaxing," said Belenski, who had former legendary UConn baseball coach Andy Baylock throwing batting practice Monday. "There's been a lot going on. We had to sign a lot of guys to temp contracts. We only had 12 (players) at one point; I think we signed six guys to temp contracts. It's been a relief getting back to baseball.<< Colton >>Bender, who contributed to Sunday's win with three walks and three runs scored, is one of the players who signed a temporary contract to get the Sea Unicorns through until the rest of the members of their roster arrive following their collegiate seasons. Norwich's starting catcher, Bender will depart in a few weeks to join the Bourne Braves of the Cape Cod League. Bender has also committed to play his graduate year at Division I Rutgers next season.<< Bender played this past season with Quinnipiac, and at this point he looks like the star of the team until he departs to the Cape Cod League. I have no idea if one of the players signed to a temp contract with Norwich is Bobby McBride, but it is a possibility. Still, given how his freshman season went with UConn, I definitely think he would be better off staying in the Futures League and playing in Norwich. I have a suspicion he would be in way over his head at this point in his college career in the Cape Cod League. [/QUOTE]
