Retro League Baseball is a historical fiction league. The league was created using historical teams, strategies, finances, and statistical tendencies. However, all the players are fictional. The league started in 1901 and simulated hand-off through the 1969 baseball season evolving and expanding as the MLB did. As such, the league has its own history, the records are unique to the league, and players have meaningful stats from previous seasons.
We start at the beginning of 1970 where rumors of international free agents, both established and amateur coming to North America and making big money has current players talking. After much fiery debate, court trials, and threats of boycotting the league, Retro League Baseball has agreed to allow players free agency after the 1970 season, abolishing the reserve clause.
We are currently at the beginning of the 1974-75 offseason (arbitration hasn't happened yet). Available teams are:
- Detroit Tigers (61-101) 23rd ranked farm, 2nd and 4th pick in 1975 draft
- Cleveland Indians (80-82) 7th ranked farm, 13th pick in 1975 draft
- Texas Rangers (85-77) 15th ranked farm, 7th and 18th pick in 1975 draft
- Houston Astros (74-88) 22nd ranked farm, 8th pick in 1975 draft
