We look forward to this season. We will make no secret of the fact that 2023 was not our best season on the pitch, but we must look forward. We added a lot of elements with good experiences in professional baseball. This is going to be an exciting team for the fans to watch. »
“I had a new job last year and this year, I was granted my leave to allow me to reconnect with professional baseball so I’m really happy,” testified the Trois-Rivières resident, Raphaël Gladu. I’m excited for the season to start and we have a really good group of guys. Last year, the Eagles had a very good offense and I think that will be the case again this season. »
The president of the Eagles, René Martin, also spoke of the “incredible work that has been done in terms of recruitment”, adding that this is the best team on paper for the last three years. For his part, Josué Peley loved his first off-season as recruiting director.
“It was an exciting experience and we did good teamwork to attract the players. It was a very roller coaster ride though because you had to accept being told no by players on multiple occasions. We have worked hard and we will continue to do so because there are always movements and injuries, and the end goal is to have the best team on the field in August. »
It’s not just on the ground where the birds are thinking big in 2024. They plan to remain the affordable summer event par excellence in Mauricie, while innovating.
