During the week will Edmonson also will help to improve the baseball skills of the youth teams, which of the baseball club.
Another American player on the team will be Chuck Magedanz. The 26-year-old infielder already spent last season with the Titans and was the best batter of the team and showed off his high fielding skills. Magedanz had offers from other European clubs, but he preferred to stay another year with the Titans.
On the other hand, 36-year-old club legend and infielder Jiri Drha decided to hang up his great baseball career. Drha is owner of almost all club records. A second player leaving is Jakub Matuska, who will probably join Kotlarka Praha, where his younger brother is already playing.
