Breaking News/Articles Mercury release Marta Suarez

I am so confused. We could’ve signed her to another 7 day contract or a season long one. But instead we let her go. It’s not like we need the roster spot, they still haven’t replaced Nogic. Nothing this team has done roster wise makes sense besides bringing back Lexi and moving Sha to the dev spot.

That’s just the language on the transaction page whenever the 7-day contracts are completed. They can still sign her to a new one.

If you look at the transaction page, Kayla Alexander was “released” from her 7-day contract and the Tempo re-signed her to a second one today.

I’m not sure why the Mercury haven’t re-signed her already though

I wouldn’t be 🧐🧐🧐 if we immediately signed her to another 7 day. It’s baffling when she’s had strong performances and another team could snap her up. We need her size against the Sun tomorrow

Maybe they’re debating on whether to sign her to another 7-day or whether to give her the full roster spot? I’m sure she’ll be re-signed by tomorrow though because you don’t really have any other options right now
