I'll leave the "joke" issue alone after this comment. It may truly be innocent in nature but a dry wit almost never translates well to the written word, especially in internet forums. At the same time, I have been on these boards on and off for eleven years and have seen a long term pattern between good-natured humor and unnecessary needling with a wink and a nod.
This obviously is not isolated to our community here but, intentional or not, it leaves a bitter taste and creates a toxic environment in what should be a fun and relaxing diversion. It is a shame as all involved have such great knowledge of the game (both OOTP and baseball IRL) with most posts being very helpful and constructive. It just got to me last night. I apologize for feeding the distraction and will focus my comments only on the game going forward.

Alright let's leave it alone I just think people are very quick to jump the trigger because of past indiscretions.
Regardless, shifting teams and promoting/demoting them as well as changing the reputation of the league can lead to a lot of fun as well. I made a fictional league to play along with MLB and they built their reputation up and are now signing real MLB top talent/free agents. It's a lot of fun. Plus you can do that with foreign leagues too.
