The Talkin' Baseball progressive league is soon heading into its 73rd season! The league started with the 1950 season, and we are looking for
One new owner to join us starting in the 2022 season. The season should get underway around the last week of May.
We are looking for an owner who is looking to stay with us until we catch up to the current MLB season (which is through the 2024 season). This would be for three seasons, and then we will end this league after 75 successfully seasons. If you ever wondered what it would be like to play in a modern era progressive with today's players, please join us to share in this experience. We are currently in discussions to possibly start a new league but do not plan to advertise openings if possible.
The open team at the moment is in Milwaukee and the AL Central. You
must remain in your home park for at least 2022 but you can opt to change to another AL park starting in 2023 if you'd like and if you let me know prior to the start of the 2023 season. Current AL parks open for 2023 are Anaheim - Angel Stadium, Minnesota - Target Field, New York - Yankee Stadium III, and Toronto - Rogers Centre. If you choose to move, you may or may not end up staying in the same division. Current owners will be given the option to move to another division to better geographically align the divisions if you choose to move, but we do not force any owner to switch divisions if they choose not to do so.
The roster for the available team is on the bottom of page 3 in this thread. This has been a very successful team who hasn't had a losing season since 2014. They won it all in 2006, 2013 and 2019, and was in the 2020 World Series. They are 69-54 after 123 games of the 2021 and one game out of first place. This doesn't guarantee success in 2022 through 2024 of course, but the foundation is here and you aren't taking over a dumpster fire. The 2022 Keeper List deadline is Saturday, May 4th @ 6 pm ET. We go on the clock on the week of Monday, May 13th to complete the 2022 regular draft. We will be drafting OFF the clock for round one shortly. This franchise will have a first round pick between the 13th and 18th pick in round one (EDIT: they have the 14th pick in round one). The AAA draft will begin on the week of Monday, May 20th, which will allow you to pick up an additional 8 players that have not yet been drafted.
