We are currently in the 2021 playoffs, and will switch over to OOTP19 after the World Series. The following two teams will be open:

Cleveland Indians: Won the AL Central the first four seasons of the ABL. Made the Wild Card this year. They have been consistently competitive, but their window is closing. Could be a good challenge for a GM wanting to keep a team in contention.

Oakland A's: 2nd lowest budget. They have some a mix of some good ML pieces and specs. Not a bad team, but would definitely be a challenge for an active and experienced GM.

Oakland has been taken! Cleveland is still available!

Cleveland is filled! Please subscribe to this thread for future openings.

Miami Marlins are OPEN!

The Marlins have done a good job shedding some of their big contracts and building up a young core. They are also part of a weak division. This is an opportunity at a relatively clean rebuild with a chance to make some noise quickly. Let me know if you are interested!

I'm interested in taking over the Marlins. Sent you a DM.

We are currently full! Subscribe to this thread for further updates of future openings!

Anaheim Angels are currently open! They have a competitive team in the AL West and the AL in general. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested or have any questions. This is a great league!

Angels have been filled. Please follow this thread for future openings!

We have at least one opening! We are about to finish the 2023 season, and the following team(s) are available:

Colorado Rockies
