We have been operating an online league since 2012 and playing OOTP since 2002. Each June's amateur draft is made up of random players from MLB history and our plan is to recycle non HOF players every 25 seasons or so and keep the league going in perpetuity. We are starting the 2076 season and have 4 openings in our 24 team league.
Nashville Stars (can be moved/renamed)
Chicago Cubs
Pittsburgh Pirates
San Diego Padres
I keep this list up to minute updated, so if you see it listed, its available.
We use Slack for our communications and StatsPlus for the amateur draft and year end awards. With equalized markets and a soft salary cap, an involved owner can turn a team around in 1-2 seasons.
