Hey everyone,

I was having a discussion with friend of mine over the holidays about the potential departures of Vlad Guerrero Jr & Bo Bichette after the 2025 (or during the 2024 season).
My friend says "Do you think you could turn the Jays into a contender in OOTP without Vlad & Bo?", so I figured that could be a fun sim / dynasty report.

A questions for the audience before I fire up a new sim:
What are your thoughts on a live start?
I have always "re-simmed" the 2024 season with minimal roster management to get to the "first offseason" in the past, but open to giving a live start a try.

One other thing to mention - the initial thought was to keep Vlad & Bo for the entire 2025 season and let them walk in free agency.
I believe this would increase the difficulty of the sim, as I won't be able to acquire high ends prospects in return.
