TAKEN NL North, S23 New York: 67-95, 5th pick in the upcoming draft. Solid team that is getting up there in age and was the victim of a one-and-done owner. Still some gas left in the tank, and with some smart free agent signings it could potentially be a 90 win team with a top 5 draft pick. Alternatively, there are some assets to trade if you want to go full rebuild.
TAKEN NL North, S23 St. Louis: 78-84, 18th pick. .500ish team with a pretty young roster -- 16 of 22 ML spots held by players under 30, including 3 players rated 80 OVR.
NL South, S23 Monterrey: 86-76, 23rd pick in the upcoming draft. Top team in a very winnable division, has had some recent college draft picks that could push the team into 90-to-95 win territory soon. We typically have pretty active free agency periods so with a few good additions you could almost guarantee this team as a playoff team.
TAKEN NL South, S23 Jackson: 53-109, 1st pick. This team has picked 6 or better in three straight drafts, four including this one. Very good minor league system, in a season or two this team could be playoff ready.
TAKEN AL East, S23 Huntington: 58-104, 2nd pick. A prime rebuild candidate. They have one pretty good pitcher who's 24 years old, but other than that their Major League cupboards are pretty bare.
TAKEN AL East, S23 San Juan: 77-85, 15th pick. This is an interesting franchise -- they've had ONE owner in all 23 seasons of Double Mendoza's existence, so there's been really good consistency here. Several players are hitting arbitration, so this roster has a ton of flexibility.
TAKEN AL East, S23 Boston: 93-69, 28th pick in the upcoming draft. Top team in the AL East, third-best record overall in the AL, and currently playing in the LCS. Team on the rise -- after three straight sub-70 win seasons, a young core shot this team into contention.
TAKEN NL West, S23 Boise: 89-73, 27th pick in the upcoming draft. Very good team with a great young core. This team has been managed very well and is built to win now.
