The PBA is in Spring Training of the 2034 season, year 17 of a 2017 MLB quickstart, and is entering the offseason. The PBA tries to be as realistic as possible, not taking shortcuts with several things most other leagues don't want to deal with.

• For example, Scouting is on (High accuracy), coaching is on, drug suspensions are on (suspensions set to very low), injuries are normal, there are overbudget restrictions, and rain outs are on. Scouts create variance in player evaluation, coaches affect development, some players try to bend the rules, some players can't bend their bodies, bosses suck, and sometimes, it rains. These affect baseball in real life, and affect baseball in the PBA.
• Both leagues use a DH to help mitigate some questionable AI decisions.
• Ratings are 1-10
• Draft picks and recently drafted players can be traded.
• If a team goes more than $5 million over budget, they have two months to get under or face adjustments to their draft and scouting budgets in future years.
• Five foreign leagues run in the background.
• There are cosmetic rewards (nicknames, minor league stadium name changes) for those who are active writers in the league
• Finally, we use Slack to communicate and use StatsPlus to draft and trade.

To allow GMs the experience of taking in the full scope of the league, we sim every four days in-season with a faster offseason.

If you're interested, we have one open team:

• Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies just went 60-102 and are in the middle of a rebuild. They have a decent farm, ranked 16th, and two first round picks, plus a few elite players on the PBA team who can be used as trade bait. The books aren't bad...they have only one big long contract, but it's for a 27-year-old platinum stick winner so it's not a bad contract.

Looking for a team if one is still available.

[ETRAIN]

The PBA portion of our league is full, but we do have multiple foreign leagues that serve as waitlists for the MLB portion of the league (or if you just want to compete in the Mexican League for example). We do have a GM taking over the Campeche Piratas if anyone wants to join him and play as a Mexican League team
