We've got the Mets and Cubs available as we head into our second season - 1961. Good time to join as we're still signing free agents and haven't gotten to ST yet. Check us out:

Looks like a good league. How do you bid on free agents in the off season?

It's handled exactly like the modern MLB method. This year we're having to reduce some contracts by 75% to keep them in line with 1961 salaries. Basically an offering GM can plan on exceeding a reasonable bid for that era, and see the final salary reduced immediately after the signing. This keeps one player from blowing your entire free agent budget.

Its a great league and I know for sure that the Mets are in a good position for a run, as I was the old GM. The only reason I left was because I have found that no ratings is the only way to go for me. Anyone looking for a good league should join this one!
