The Long Island Ducks made a slew of moves over the past week or so as the season is getting into full gear.
The Ducks signed outfielder Chris Roller for his first season with the Ducks and eighth in professional baseball. Roller got to the Major Leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers last season. Before that he played 94 games with Nashville, with 10 home runs, 41 RBIs, 47 runs, and nine stolen bases.
They also signed right-handed pitcher David Griffin. Griffin was with the team last season after joining the team in August. He made 12 appearances (four starts) for the team with a 2-1 record with a 4.45 ERA and 26 strikeouts to eight walks over 30.1 innings pitched. The 28-year-old began the season in the New York Mets organization, making five appearances (one start) combined between Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse.
Finally, the Ducks added left-handed pitcher Bernardo Flores Jr to the flock. He begins his first season with the Ducks and 10th in professional baseball. Flores Jr. joins the Ducks after spending parts of two seasons in the Major Leagues. He pitched with the Chicago White Sox in 2020 and the St. Louis Cardinals in 2021. The southpaw has also pitched in the Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers organizations, reaching Triple-A with each.
