Last Minute Deal and Roster Cut Reminder

As the final minutes tick away, final roster tinkering took place.  The Beatniks acquired David Freese (.05 18+) from the Kenndoza Line in exchange for the Beatniks 9th Round pick.

REMINDER:  Roster Cuts are due by 3pm CENTRAL time Sunday, March 27th.  Technically that's today.

I have received two teams' cuts thus far.  My schedule is full tomorrow and I won't have time to review, process and post the cuts until tomorrow night around 9pm or 10pm.  Please, please, please, do not make me chase you down for your cuts at 3:05pm.
