The one thing that had the widest array of views was whether every team should get more base cash to account for the extra roster spots available for this season. Both sides had good points and I've personally been on both sides of the issue at different times, so we will have a league vote! To tee up the i...

SPR could use more good pitchers as well as help at catcher. SPR has three good 3B in Justin Turner, Brad Miller and Gio Urshela and could trade any one of them for pitching. Guys who could be of interest to rebuilding teams include Scooter Gennett (E) Joe Jimenez (unlimited) Joey Lucchesi (E) and Rob...

Sewell has a great start on a pitching staff, but the offense has holes. We could use bats at C, 3B, and OF. Carded players that could be of interest to rebuilding teams include Shohei Ohtani (unlimited(, Ross Stripling, and Luis Rengifo (unlimited). Minor Leaguers, picks and cash can also poten...

Mike- Rome

Rome sends Robbie Grossman, Blake Treinan and $150k for EGR for its first round draft pick.

Rome sends Jacoby Jones and Chris Stratton to Shiner in return for Monte Harrison.

EGR has a roster that is pretty set for next year, but I'm looking for a full-time, big bat OF (preferably LH or switch-hitting), part-time help at 2B, and RH relievers. Draft picks and minor league prospects are most easily moved, as money is in short supply.

HAR #3 and $100k for Anthony Bass

Eric · Eric

While Shiner waits for their date with San Francisco in CLDS, I'll dip a toe in the murky offseason waters. It looks like they should be a contender again, but definitely have some work to do. The top priority is finding Soto some help in the OF as Cain opted out after 5 games and the other guys cratered or...

The post-championship gap year went pretty much as expected for Surprise, but they might be somewhat more competitive in the sure to be bizarre 2021 season. Of course, that will depend on how well they navigate this treacherous offseason. Available Zombie players include Joey Votto, Amed Rosar...

$350k for Lewin Diaz

For the first time in a while, I didn't have a team in the bottom 5 so I got to actually run the random draw for the first pick this year! Our candidates: ISL (26 wins) MUD (26 wins) DGG (49 wins) MIS (52 wins) DAV (53 wins) Per the rules, it's a weighted draw, so ISL and MUD each had a 9-in-30 chance, DGG had a 6-i...

Teams tied in the number of wins switch order every round. Which team gets the higher pick in odd rounds is done by random draw. The results of that are: MUD has a higher pick in odd rounds, ISL in even rounds (which thankfully is consistent with the 1st round draw too) WAS has a higher pick in odd rounds,...

Thanks to all who took the time to comment on the one-time rule adjustments for the 2020 ARBA Season. Based on your feedback, here is what we will be implementing: (1) No structural changes to the ARBA Season. We'll play 162 games, the usual split of games among teams, no 7-inning doubleheaders, s...

The CL Wild Card game featured two teams that barely missed out on winning their divisions in the Bali Dawgs (102-60, 4 GB of HAR) and the Terre Haute Explosion (99-63, 3 GB of SHI). Bali featured presumptive CL Cy Young Justin Verlander (21-8, 2.93, 303 Ks) heading a rotation that also included Jake...
