Prime cuts

The Wild Things made their first significant moves to get down to the Frontier League roster limit Monday by releasing six players and putting another on the disabled list.
Washington, which opens its ninth season Friday (7:05 p.m.) at home against the Oakland County Cruisers, released pitchers Javier Gomez, Ben Rodenwald and David Trivett, catcher Chris Rosenbaum and infielders Pat Kinney and Lock Haven graduate Matt Palko. Trivett was Washington’s first-round draft pick at the Frontier League tryout and draft.
The Wild Things also placed pitcher Jeff Sonnenberg on the 14-day disabled list.
The moves leave Washington with 26 players, including 14 pitchers, on the active roster. The league limit is 24 players.
