This is a good, long-running, league with great GM's. We sim like clockwork every TWO days (daily in the off-season).
When we have a rare opening, this thread will be bumped with the update.
Experience is great, but also can be earned as you go. If you are willing to put in the effort, we're willing to help you along.

We have moved to 22 and have one, very good, opening.
See post above and send a message if you're interested.

Winnipeg59 · 05-05-2021, 08:39 PM

Bumping.
We are just into the off-season 2034-35.
BOSTON open.

Winnipeg59 · 07-16-2021, 05:47 AM

ABL has concluded the 2035 Regular Season and is doing a ROLL CALL for 2036.
We do have an opening.
See first post to apply.

Current Openings:
Washington Nationals - https://statsplus.net/americanbaseba...s/team_60.html

Winnipeg59 · 07-19-2021, 05:24 AM

One opening (original post).
Also conducting Roll Call right now, so there may be one other, but apply now if you are interested in a great, stable and long-term, online league.

Winnipeg59 · 07-21-2021, 12:41 PM

Adding another team (see original post).

ONLY the two openings.
TORONTO
WASHINGTON

Winnipeg59 · 07-22-2021, 05:51 AM

OK, we have hit the off-season 2035-2036. It's a PERFECT time to join and set the course for your team.

Two openings:
Toronto Blue Jays
Washington Nationals

Winnipeg59 · 07-23-2021, 05:23 PM

Literally beginning the off-season Saturday night.
Essentially a fictional league now, as far as players, but MLB teams.

Send a note if interested!

Winnipeg59 · 07-25-2021, 08:06 AM

Still seeking two GM's for the 2036 season.
Just coming up to free agency, so an excellent time to jump into the ABL.

Toronto Blue Jays - https://statsplus.net/americanbaseba...s/team_59.html
** #7 farm... Bottom third budget... A challenging veteran contract (thankfully he can still play). Priority #1 is to get back to profitability. More of a challenge between these two options!

Washington Nationals - https://statsplus.net/americanbaseba...s/team_60.html
** Middling minor league system...Also a bottom third budget. Washington has some financial flexibility, and can easily be turned into something that can compete. Make your mark!

Winnipeg59 · 07-25-2021, 08:22 PM

Washington taken.

Blue Jays still open. Just need one GM!

Winnipeg59 · 07-27-2021, 07:26 PM

Toronto Blue Jays (2036 version) available.

Winnipeg59 · 07-29-2021, 06:47 AM

Still just need one GM for the 2036 Toronto Blue Jays.

Come and join ABL!

See original post and apply.

Current Openings:
Milwaukee Brewers - https://statsplus.net/americanbaseba...s/team_46.html
** (This team will easily be a contender. Top 3 minor system. Good financial shape. You can step in a perform!)

Winnipeg59 · 08-25-2021, 07:51 PM

Need one.
Good opportunity, not a scrub squad.

Filled our earlier opening.
Now would like a new Baltimore GM.
Let me know if you're up for it?

Winnipeg59 · 09-13-2021, 08:53 PM

Seem to have been ghosted by our relatively new Milwaukee GM, so the team has reopened.
It's a contender!

Milwaukee Brewers - https://statsplus.net/americanbaseba...s/team_46.html

Winnipeg59 · 09-16-2021, 06:17 PM

Brewers are open.
Check the first post.

Winnipeg59 · 09-27-2021, 06:12 AM

New opening in ABL.
Current GM finds his time now limited.
And opportunity for you to step in and manage the Jays!
