Ottawa Titans Exercise 2025 Player Options

Davide Disipio • November 7, 2024

Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans Baseball Club exercised the 2025 options on 22 players on Thursday, beginning their roster build.


By exercising the options on the players listed below, the Titans will retain their Frontier League playing rights for the 2025 season.


The Ottawa Titans have exercised the following 2025 Player Options:
UTIL Evan Berkey
LHP CJ Blowers
OF Lamar Briggs
INF Aaron Casillas
C Victor Cerny
RHP Matt Dallas
LHP Jake Dixon
UTIL Michael Fuhrman
RHP Shane Gray
RHP McLain Harris
OF Jake Hjelle
LHP Tyler Jandron
RHP Breyln Jones
LHP Grant Larson
OF Brendan O’Donnell
LHP Bryan Peña
UTIL Bradlee Preap
LHP Billy Price
LHP Jose Torrealba
INF Jackie Urbaez
UTIL Taylor Wright
INF AJ Wright

 

Declined Player Options:
INF Christian Ibarra
INF Peyton Isaacson
RHP Scott Prins
LHP Arlison Rodriguez


For those unfamiliar with the process, the Frontier League has Player Options built into a two-year contract. They play/are under contract for the first season, and each team has the club option for the following season unless otherwise negotiated.


If the option is exercised (as done to the players above), teams can still extend the player on a new contract or have players play on that option the following season. This allows teams to maintain the player’s Frontier League contractual rights for the next playing season.


If a team declines the contract option, the player is a free agent, effective December 15.


In other news, the Titans have traded INF Jamey Smart and LHP Kyle White to the Joliet Slammers in exchange for Future Considerations.


Also, the club has granted the release to RHP Erasmo Piñales, who will pursue an opportunity in the Mexican Professional League.


The Ottawa Titans begin the 2025 season on the road versus the Down East Bird Dawgs on Friday, May 9 at Grainger Stadium in Kinston, North Carolina. The 2025 Home Opener is scheduled for Tuesday, May 20 at 6:30 p.m. against the New Jersey Jackals at Ottawa Stadium.
