This team has won the league's WS several times and always has a strong core of players. Dazzy Vance and Aaron Ward are in their minor league system. All the rest of their exclsuive players will have to be on your 1918 roster if you wish to retain their exclusive rights.
A new owner has a one time only exemption from our salary cap rule so you can build your team to your requirements. As a first season owner we don't enforce the 13 returning players in order to qualify for the full $80 mill salary so you can keep your better players and put your mark on this team.
You may also change the team name and the ballpark (based on availability). The available parks are:
