The OFTP (One Franchise at a Time Progressve) needs 1 owner to take over the team listed below. We are in our 19th season and opening don't happen in this league very often. 11 of the 16 original owners are still in the league and this is the first opening in the last 4 seasons.

We are a 16 team league of 4/4 divisions.

We started the league using players from 2 Franchises and add new players from a randomly drawn Franchise each year thereafter. Seasons are from 1970 to current day, so when the 2024 players become available those seasons will be added.
We added players from the Tigers in this years draft. Players can only play for the Franchise you drafted them for, so once those seasons run out and/or they are traded to another team in RL they are Cuts.
This team is a bit of a rebuild but has some nice pieces (Grace, Tulowitski, Rice, Pudge) to possibly trade if you want to speed up the rebuilding.

Team for this next Season:
