Longtime MLB turned Fictional OOTP league that uses OOTP25 that is looking to fill some vacancies. We just finished the 2068 postseason.
We sim four days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday), a week at a time during the regular season. We are a 20-team league that uses Slack to communicate, as well as
StatsPlus. There are two divisions of ten teams each, though regardless of divisional settings, the top twelve teams make the playoffs. The first four teams receive a bye with four total rounds of playoff baseball. This encourages competition as most teams have a chance at winning the crown!

Open Teams
Austin Rattlers: Young team with one of the most exciting young players, center fielder
Enrique Cadena. A legit piece to build on, the recently turned 24-year-old posted a 4+ WAR season with 35 doubles and home runs. Farm system is thin on the position player side, but Austin has four top-75 pitching prospects. A year or two away from contention, but they have a ton of money to spend.
Kansas City Centaurs: Unfortunately a long time owner had to step away for personal reasons, so Kansas City is available. In the middle of a rebuild, KC was starting to turn a corner, just barely missing out on the final playoff spot. A solid group without a star, 26-year-old
Juan Mendoza looks like an excellent top of the order hitter and they have a pair of 80-grade pitching prospects ranked in the league's top 25. An interesting guy to watch is
Reynaldo Frias, an elite defensive catcher who at 24 could see the bat continue to improve.
Perfect time to join, as we just wrapped up the playoffs! Let us know if you have any interest and we are happy to help!
