We have a couple other openings as I uncovered one owner was taking over a few other teams; as a result I am acting quickly. Cheating will not be tolerated and we are a much stronger group moving forward. We are currently in August of 2021 and going strong. We are a very active Slack Group with some very creative owners (a good example is our FSL-Twitter handle...lots of fun during the season and off season). This league is free to join and provides prizes for being the most active, non-playoff team as well as incentives for winning the World Series. Our openings are:

1B - L. Soto #41 overall
Team Budget: $200 million

Cleveland is loaded with MLB talent and poised to make a run. The also possess the #1 overall prospect in Chad Watkins who is nearly major league ready. The issue with Cleveland will be payroll next season.

Texas Rangers (62-45)
Top 3 Players

Financial Health: Very strong
Texas is holding onto first place in a very weak AL West. They have tons of budget space to build around a core of good offense. The right owner can shape this team into a playoff regular.

Minnesota Twins (53-52)
Top 3 Players
CF Mickey Moniak -
https://statsplus.net/fsl/player/27826#ratings
OF George Springer -

Minor League System Rank: 29th
Top Prospects:
N/A
Team Budget: $176 million
Team Payroll: $89 million
Financial Health: Very strong
Minnesota, while they may be bare of top 100 prospects, have a good core of young talent in the majors right now. CF Mickey Moniak, at only 23 years old, is a future 10 WAR player and someone you can build a franchise around. He is this generation's Mike Trout. Financially, Minnesota provides an opportunity for significant growth.
------------------------------------------
Baltimore Orioles (57-49)
Top 3 Players
1B Brandon Belt -
https://statsplus.net/fsl/player/30213#ratings
SP Jimon Kubota -
https://statsplus.net/fsl/player/42646#ratings
SP Steven Strasburg -
https://statsplus.net/fsl/player/25834#ratings
Minor League System Rank: 20th
Top Prospects:
SP D. Putman #40 overall
SP B. Rohde #70 overall
Team Budget: $176 million
Team Payroll: $107 million
Financial Health: Good position, room to maneuver
Baltimore has significant top end talent, but unfortunately for them, they play in the very difficult AL East. Baltimore has a very good rotation led by Strasburg and Kubota (international FA) that has positioned them in the top 3 for runs allowed in the AL.
While uncovering this operation was a pain, it galvanized our league and will make us very strong by adding new personalities to our league. I have implemented a number of safe guards to prevent duplicate ownership again (major things to Dave in StatsPlus). I expect these openings to fly, so please get ahold of me today!
