Snow is still piled up in the backyard, frost covers the morning windows and the only metal cleats you see are in the mail. Spring is maybe still a month or so away but the Grays have some updates to howl about.

 

For the second year in a row Adidas Baseball will be sponsoring the Minneapolis Grays, throwing money towards the coffers and donating new kicks to a few lucky wolves. Adidas Baseball has been becoming one of the emerging brands on the diamond with numerous studs rocking the three stripe life; Kris Bryant, Carlos Correa, Matt Harvey, Chris Archer, Billy Hamilton and just recently signed Marcus Stroman. Adidas continues to be innovative off the field with high clientele creatives and athletes like Kanye West, James Harden, Lionel Messi, Pharrell Williams, Pusha T, Karlie Kloss, David Beckham, Alexander Wang, Aaron Rodgers, PK Subban, Kristaps Porzingis and Lindsey Horan. Now add to that list Jon Widerski and Michael Shanor? Guess so. Adidas is investing in baseball at all levels of the game and in the past few summers it's been paying off as three stripes sales are booming and pulling up just behind New Balance and Rawlings. 

 

The Grays will get to show off their new click clacks at CHS Field this April as they take on the Lake Monsters in a fun pre-season game in Saint Paul, and speaking of beautiful fields, the Grays will also return to Castle Field this summer to play all their home games. Richard Rohling and Anthony Mahady will return to hold down the microphone to announce and call games for the Grays, always an entertaining pair. 

 

The Grays have been slowly practicing but not baseball, but basketball? Members of the team have been meeting up for open gyms and getting their pick and roll on but have yet to get together as a collective to practice baseball as many are sticking with the solo practice route as of now, until the snow melts and they can get outside. 

 

In the next couple weeks a spring training schedule will get released and following that will be the regular season lineup. The wolves hope to leave their mark this summer, but for now are just leaving marks in the snow.
