Double Mendoza is a very balanced and competitive league that saw only two teams win 100 or more games last season (100 and 104) and one team lose 100 games (102). The is largely because of the $100M salary cap and the tow-season 125 minimum win requirement. Actually, no one has been voted out the past two seasons for missing the MWR. It's a good league with four available teams. None of these teams are handcuffed by large contracts, and all of them have significant assets in their farm system:
The former Detroit Karz-N-Trux (NL North) 60-102 last season. 17 players currently 70-79 overall, 1 player 80-89. About $48M in committed salary for this season.
