Bumping this - I've been in the league since it's inaugural season and it's an incredibly fun league to play in. Friendly to both first time online players and seasoned vets. Stable group of core owners.

Draft pick trading is allowed and teams are frequently cutting deals trying to improve their teams.

Los Angeles has the #2 farm system and a very good offense and probably has the quickest path to success.

Carolina has fallen on some tough times but has a good amount of roster flexibility and some decent prospects.

St. Louis had a winning record last year, has some very good players on offense and is probably a pitcher or two from competing.

We just started the offseason so it's the perfect time to join as you can still really put your fingerprints on the next season's starting roster. Not to mention that each new GM gets an amnesty release to ditch a bad contract left by their predecessor.

Bumping again - Los Angeles and Carolina have been filled but St. Louis remains open. Our Washington team is now also open.

Washington has fallen on some tough times in recent years after an earlier track record of success. The team has a decent mixture of established vets and young talent, and if you used your free release on the worst contract, would have close to $40M in salary cap space. They have some good bats but pitching could use an improvement and their farm system sits just outside the top 10.

Rule 5 draft going on now and no major free agents have signed yet, so you still have a chance to leave a positive mark on your team in your first round of free agency.

The NBL has just completed its 21st season which saw the San Diego Admirals win their first title.

The New York Titans are now available. We are just starting the offseason so now would be a good time to get on board. If interested, please contact me at the email in the original post above.

Hey Pat. Brand new to this and very interested. I don’t have the game yet but would be interested in getting involved.

Curious how much time needs to be spent on the league on a day to day basis?
