The Team Icon League II Needs three owners for the 1988 season. The teams are the Dodgers, Yankees and Athletics. The main concept of the league is that you can only draft or trade for players that played for your team at some point. For instance Roberto Alomar who is a rookie in 1988 can only be drafted by Toronto, San Diego, Cleveland, Baltimore, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox or Arizona. The three rosters are below. The Dodgers went 63-99 and will pick 5th or 6th in the 1988 Rookie Draft depending on tiebreakers, the Yankees went 88-74 and will pick 13th and the Athletics went 91-72 (the lost a tiebreaker game against the Angels for the AL West title) and will pick 17th.
The league has 20 teams and there are currently no teams in Montreal, San Diego, Milwaukee, Toronto, Minnesota & Seattle. If you wish to take one of the three open teams and move them to an open franchise we have plans laid out for relocation. The only request is that the teams stay relatively even geographically. So the Dodgers could move to San Diego, the Yankees to Milwaukee, Minnesota or Toronto and the Athletics to Milwaukee, Minnesota or Seattle. If you do decide to move all of your current players will have to be phased out over the course of three years. So if you took the Yankees to Toronto you would have to have all players who were Yankee eligible off your team by the start of the 1990 season. This is to prevent someone to relocate a strong team to a new city just to take advantage of a strong draft class in a particular year.
