The Tourists have had a hell of a turnaround in Season 3. They were last in 2299 and close to last in 2300. Now, they are killing it. Well, they have slacked off recently, but their team has made all the right moves to be competitive.
Speaking of some of these moves, I was considering actually using finances in my dynasty to make sure good players are not moving to the NWL or VIML. So far, only a handful of contributors at the CBO level have moved to the other leagues, with SP John Diner and RF Melon Sanderson being the biggest names so far. If it gets out of hand, I will reconsider. Sanderson was an all-star in 2298, hitting .333/23/85 with a 4.8 WAR. However, it looks like he took a bit of a ratings hit. Despite that, he is the premier NWL player, hitting .475/21/55. It may be time to force a trade back to the CBO for a number of contributors.
Orange has LF Tom Mastodon now. He was never going to be a top player in the CBO, but he could be a star in the NWL. He only played in seven games for Orange before getting hurt, but he is the third-rated player overall behind Sanderson (Wild) and Diner (Victory).
