The Carolina Blaze has begun building its roster for the 2027 season.
Blaze players who are offered contracts will re-sign throughout the next month. The group may include players who competed with Carolina during the 2026 season as well as provisional selections from the 2026 Athletes Unlimited Softball League College Draft.
