Longtime MLB turned Fictional OOTP league that is in our first post upgrade season in OOTP 26. We just finished the 2070 season so you will get to handle the entire offseason.
We sim four days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday), a week at a time during the regular season. We are a 20-team league that uses Slack to communicate, as well as
StatsPlus. There are two divisions of ten teams each, though regardless of divisional settings, the top twelve teams make the playoffs. The first four teams receive a bye with four total rounds of playoff baseball. This encourages competition as most teams have a chance at winning the crown!

Open Teams
Kansas City Centaurs: A surprise playoff team and series winner, Kansas City has money to spend and a good young core. The farm ranks 5th and has two top-10 arms that could pitch their way into rotation role. No real offensive stars, but they can tap into their pitching depth.
Miami Hammerheads: If you like a challenge, this one is for you, as it's been a while since Miami was a contender and even longer since they won a title. The losing hasn't led to many draft hits, as their system sits in the bottom half. There's the beginnings of a new young core, led by a legit, controllable slugger, and very little long-term commitment to get in the way.
Sasquatch BC: Unfortunately a long time owner had to step away with time constraints, making Sasquatch available for the first time in over 30 in-game years. They're on a rare postseason drought, but it's allowed their farm system to grow. A few key players will either walk or receive extensions, and can be an active player in the free agent market.
