One of the top all-time worlds in HBD, this is one of those places where you don't have to worry about lopsided trades, or teams selling the farm for a quick run, or massive amounts of cash flowing back and forth between teams. If you can win here, you can win anywhere. "As long as it's big and long, it's going in my mouth." -tlowster

Available Teams
Current AL team in Vegas -- Barring some sort of disaster down the home stretch, looking at their fourth consecutive 100+ win season, and sixth consecutive .500+ winning percentage. Not much talent sitting in the minors, but with a ML squad like this, who needs prospects?
Current NL team in Santa Fe -- Unless he has some sort of crazy winning streak, likely a MWR victim. Pretty decent farm system sitting down there, with this year's #1 pick Terry Priest as the most prized possession. Stay above the MWR for another couple of seasons, and this squad will be pretty serious.
Current NL South team in Little Rock -- Long time owner, he's been with us since S66, so the team has been well run for a long time. WS winner back in S76, a very consistently good franchise for the last decade. The type of team where you go all-in with some big free agent signings to compete on day one, or you take a couple of seasons to rebuild.
Current NL squad in Charlotte -- World Series winner last season, made the playoffs again this season, and the franchise has generally been at or above .500 for the last decade or so. Solid squad all the way through the minors, it's an easy team to just pick up and run with.
