Rules & Settings:

The PBA is midway through the 2025 season, the ninth year of a 2017 MLB quickstart..The PBA tries to be as realistic as possible, not taking shortcuts with several things most other leagues don't want to deal with.

For example, Scouting is on (Very accurate), coaching is on, drug suspensions are on (suspensions set to very low), injuries are normal, meaning there are a bunch of them, there are overbudget restrictions, and rain outs are on. Scouts create variance in player evaluation, coaches affect development, some players try to bend the rules, some players can't bend their bodies, bosses suck, and sometimes, it rains. These affect baseball in real life, and affect baseball in the PBA.

Both leagues use a DH to help mitigate some questionable AI decisions.
Ratings are 1-10
Draft picks and recently drafted players can be traded.
If a team goes more than $5 million over budget, they have two months to get under or face adjustments to their draft and scouting budgets in future years.
Four foreign leagues run in the background.
There are cosmetic rewards (nicknames, minor league stadium name changes) for those who are active writers in the league
Finally, we use Slack and use StatsPlus to draft.

To allow GMs the experience of taking in the full scope of the league, we sim every three days in-season with a faster offseason

If you're interested, the league has one opening.

Seattle Mariners

The Mariners are 59-54, 3rd in a crowded AL West, 1.5 back of the second Wild Card, six back in the division. They have a lot of star power and a good staff, though absentee GMing has resulted in the team being less than the sum of its parts. The team is a little older, but it won its division the two seasons prior, and is set to be a force for a couple more years.
