Get an early start to your season as a replacement owner.

Pick up The Richmond Franchise (NL South) in Johnny5Bench now and re-up for season 27 to get the benefit of the previous payroll.

With the number 1 selection in next season’s draft you will be able to pick up a key piece to your franchise rebuild.  This is a team primed for an owner who wants to spend a couple of seasons molding this franchise as he sees fit.  With a very low payroll of 41.3 this past season, and a potential of $15.7 M that can come off the books in season 27, there will be ample cash for you to sign FA’s or IFAs.  And the cupboard is far from bare.  There are solid young players in place from the previous seasons.  Pitchers Cristhian Schmidt and Vinnie Piper made the jump to the ML squad a season ago, and CF Phillip Stevenson joined them this season.  Rafael Escobar is a probable addition next season.  First round pick P Russell Valentine will be a big addition to the ML roster in a season or two.

23 year old Jesus Lecuona is already an established star in the league.  So is 21 year old Pitcher Lawrence Hall.  Both will be fixtures in Richmond for many ore seasons.

The stage is set for you to continue this rebuild with the top pick in next season’s draft.  Get in now as a replacement owner and pick up $4.00 at the end of season 26.  You get the benefit of the previous season’s budget as a starting point for your budget changes.  And of course, you have the option to move this team to another city if you wish.
