STICKY:
Eric Explains How Money Works
(Preview)
As a public service, I've decided to post an explanation of this complex topic. It is always the hardest part of the ARBA rules for new owners to understand and can even trip up some who have been around for a while. It's almost as if our rules have developed over the course of 3 decades and been written b...

C Auction Discussion on Puffing (Again)
(Preview)
We have tinkered with and considered proposals for C auction reform over the past few years, but the problem of the essential unfairness presented by two teams owned by a single owner persists. Consider this scenario: Owner A owns two teams. Owner B owns one team. Owner A and Owner B are the last two b...

Sewell offseason
(Preview)
Going to be a rough year for Sewell next year with four guys who are currently in our rotation but are all uncarded next season. We are not looking to do a deep rebuild, we are looking to take one season off and compete again when we hope at least some of those SPers are back. Therefore we are looking for pe...

Springfield offseason
(Preview)
Springfield is looking to contend next season. We need 2B due to the McLain injury and could use about a half time catcher. Good relievers are always helpful. Draft picks can be moved. Matt McLain and Jacob DeGrom are both currently E players and would be attractive to rebuilding teams- could b...

Salem offseason
(Preview)
Having been bounced from the playoffs with extreme prejudice, Salem are turning their eyes to 2025. The team is generally in pretty good shape, but it would be nice to have another big-time OF/DH power bat in the lineup. Somebody that can pitch in a bit at 2B could be useful too. Cash will be in short su...

Deadwood 2025
(Preview)
After suffering another early playoff exit, some say that this team should have stayed in Surprise. For now, they're looking ahead to a 2025 season in Deadwood that will not feature many of the key contributors in 2024. Despite substantial losses to injury and ineffectiveness, they could be pretty...

FL Division Series
(Preview)
Game 1 Senga vs BradishAction packed game with 22 hits but 21 LOB.

Kevin Newman led off the top of the 7th with a tiebreak...

We are looking to move young prospects for impact players, with a focus on a big power bat (position flexible) and back of the bullpen help.
