The New Hampshire Fishercats are continuing their offseason overhaul.
It's been busy few months for the Toronto Blue Jays' Double-A affiliate, who have already added six new hires to their front office for the upcoming season. Now, they are making an internal promotion.
Andrew Marais, who has served in a variety of roles for the Manchester-based team over the last decade, is being promoted to Assistant General Manager.
The Fishercats made the announcement in a statement on Friday.
Most recently, Marais was the Director of Marketing and Promotions and was often seen as the face and emcee of the team's special events nights in his "Rowdy Red" persona.

Double-A Fisher Cats season opens on April 3rd
New Hampshire is the only minor league team Marais has ever known, ever since he joined the club's ambassador program in 2016.
His service to the Blue Jays, Fisher Cats, Manchester, and the wider New Hampshire community continues beyond the baseball season.
Marais is often seen attending community events and promotions and often acts as the team's spokesman.
"Andrew has been a foundational piece of this organization for over a decade. There is no one in this building that cares more about the success of the Fisher Cats than Andrew. To be able to reward him with this well-deserved promotion and title is something I am honored to do. I’m excited to see Andrew continue to help us reach new heights and create an incredible experience for Fisher Cats fans.” - Fisher Cats GM Taylor Fisher
The Fisher Cats will be entering their 33rd season as a minor league entity and their 23rd as a member of the Blue Jays organization.
Opening Day, a matchup against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, is set for April 3rd.
