The Lincoln Saltdogs (saltdogs.com) have announced the signing of three players that will return to the roster for the 2025 season. Pitchers Wyatt Sparks and Gaylon Viney, along with shortstop Drew Devine, will help lead Lincoln again this year.
Sparks went 2-2 for the ‘Dogs in 2024—pitching 46 strikeouts in 50 innings. Lincoln Manager Brett Jodie is excited for Sparks to be back.
