[Nicolino Di Benedetto]

Hello, everyone! We hope you're enjoying the winter and all of the hot-stove action in baseball. As a Mets fan, I'm definitely having a great time following the ups and downs of the offseason, and fortunately there are more ups recently.

Anyway, we wanted to let you know that the competitive landscape in PT 26 will be completed in February, and we have the formats ready for you to examine. You'll be able to start your prep for these tournaments now, but you'll still have to qualify.
