Major Leagues is currently simulating the World Series and will be rolling over soon. As of right now, it appears we will have 2 openings. This is a very competitive world with great owners and lots of long term stability that usually rolls over very quickly.
Private World Rules

AL East
Baltimore Orioles
Season 25 record: 67-95
Projected Draft Pick: #6
Salary Commitment: 70 million in season 26 for 12 players, 51 million in season 27 for 9 player, 24.6 million in season 28 for 4 players and 11.8 million in season 29 for 2 players
This team has been stuck in a rut of winning 67 to 79 games for 13 straight seasons. The minors are in decent shape and there are some good players on the major league roster to build around. Lack of pitching depth has been the major problem holding the franchise back from getting over the .500 mark.

Season 25 record: 50-112
Projected Draft Pick: #1
Salary Commitment: 7.2 million in season 26 for 1 players plus 19 million in dead money to a released player, 7.2 million in season 27 for 1 player
This once proud franchise has fallen on tough times the past few seasons. But with no long term salary committed, the number one overall pick in the draft and a few top prospects in the minors, this is an excellent chance for a good owner to build a winner for years to come.
