If you're at a point where you're feeling that your game is stale, here's a short list of things I can recommend that don't break anything in the continuity

1. Have your team bought out by a new owner and moved to a different city of your choosing. Pick a new logo. Change your financials to match your market. Make your new owner a celebrity you find interesting or humorous. "What do you mean Elton John bought the Reds and moved them to Honolulu??"

2. Go through your roster and find the unique guys who had an atypical path to the pros. There's always someone who was a tag-along on a trade or was a late round draft pick that made good. Flush out his story. Give him a badass nickname, like Jimmy "Steely-Eyed Missile Man" James, etc.

3. Smash common strategy in the teeth, and do something eccentric, like focus on a roster with elite defensive skills and decent pitching. Or pack your lineup with 3TO guys. Or super speedy base stealers.

4. Go through your lowest team roster and rename everyone to a movie character and see where they end up in a couple years. You'll smile when little known Snake Pliscon ends up being your starting left fielder.
