St. Louis Shock Retains Star Trio for MLP 2025: The St. Louis pickleball team has announced its roster decisions for MLP 2025. They will keep three strong players and drop one to meet the new requirements. Kate Fahey, despite her progress, will be released to retain top talent on the roster.
Roster Decisions
St. Louis will keep Anna Bright, Hayden Patriquin, and Gabe Tardio. Bright has a keeper price of $295,000, while Patriquin and Tardio are $102,500 and $92,500, respectively. The decision to drop Fahey, who has shown improvement in singles but needs more work in doubles, was necessary to maintain a competitive edge.
Player Evaluation
Bright, Patriquin, and Tardio rank among the top 10 players, with some even in the top 5. Their performance solidifies St. Louis’s chances in the upcoming season. The team plans to target Fahey in the auction, where she may be one of the first players picked, possibly right after Quang Duong.
Future Implications
This decision reflects the strategy of St. Louis as they prepare for MLP 2025. By letting Fahey go, they can focus on strengthening their lineup with established players. If Fahey succeeds in the auction, it could create an interesting dynamic in the league, showcasing the talent available.
