MLB D League - Long time league with opening!

Major League Baseball Dreams is a long running league set up in 2006 real life time, originally with 2006 teams and rosters. We are just finishing up the playoffs in 2065 and will be switching to OOTP immediately after the World Series. While many players like to join a new league starting up, there are great advantages to joining an established league like ours. We've been running for about 13 years of real time, with nearly 60 seasons run and the commissioner is committed to keeping the league running as along as we have Gms and OOTP, so you won't worry about putting in a few seasons working with your team only to have the league disappear.

Sims are run on schedule and there is good communications through messages from the commissioner, an incredibly active Slack channel. We run some sims using StatsPlus real time sim integration with Slack and GMs have really enjoyed that. We have a few GMs who have been with the league from the beginning, some long timers and some newer GMs. A number of the GM's are also in some other leagues together. If you are new, we welcome you, and there are plenty of experienced Gms and the commissioner to get you going.

We update every other OOTP revision, and this is the year we have switched to OOTP 20.

Take a look at the web site and drop by the forum and look around. Links to the team reports are on the web site so you can check out the teams. If you like what you see, email the commissioner's email above (also linked on the web site) and let me know you are interested. I'm good at answering fairly quickly. If we fill up we'll be glad to put you on a waiting list, as some GMs come and go.

Teams currently available:

Oakland A's

Send me a PM or use the email at the top to contact the commish if you are interested in joining.
