Random Debut Baseball League- Team Available

After 30+ seasons played over the past 6 years we have decided to start over in the RDBL as just about all the players came through our league. What we used was the August 1 updated Quick Start, releasing all the players (majors and minors) and had an inaugural draft using Statsplus. Each June's amateur draft will be made up of random players from MLB history going forward and our plan is to do 30-40 seasons which should take about 6-7 years. We just finished the first season and have 1 opening.

We have 4 of the 30 MLB teams available. They are-

Chicago White Sox
Oakland A's
Toronto Blue Jays
Texas Rangers

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 salary cap, an involved owner can turn a team around in 1-2 seasons.
