Vinnie Pasquantino in May: 11-26 (.423), 5 XBH, 3 BB, 10 RBI.

Eric Eager is a one-step-ahead strategist with a brilliant football mind. The impact of his work, big and small, is littered throughout football. Lucky to call him a friend, because he's a terrific one. The Panthers made a tremendous hire. Eric Eager 📊🏈

It's a curtain call for Salvy Perez.
