Everybody selling their team after 2018

After the 2018 season, 5 teams sold to new owners, including the Marlins who infamously just were sold the year prior. Minnesota, Atlanta, ChiSox, Miami, and Toronto all were sold immediately after 2018.

Could be coincidence but I don't think 5 teams sold in 1 offseason is the norm, especially ones with new owners.

It's a random chance which teams sell (and the game doesn't track history pre-OOTP, so it doesn't know the Marlins just sold last year!), so it's possible to get a large change in the off-season. Rare, but with so many OOTP players, someone's going to get unlucky!

Hm alright, after my second year another team was sold, the Rangers. I get it's random but if 1/5 of the league is sold after 2 years I feel it could be a bit high. Just curious if other players have noticed something similar.

You're not the only one who has notices this. I've seen at least 2-3 teams sell to new owners each off season. Sometimes I've seen a number as high as 4 teams sell. That's simply unrealistic. I've had to 'force quit' the game to close without saving the changes and reload my league again.

These high rate of teams selling to new owners is simply unrealistic!!!
