Knuckleball is entering season 10 and needs 4 owners to begin. This is a competitive world with a solid core of dedicated owners which provides no drama or normal HBD tom foolery. And a 50 win minimum win rule gives every owner something easily attainable with any bad teams but prevents extreme tanking. Veteran owners or newbies are welcome. Any new owners are asked to take mentorship advice from a veteran owner.

Here are the 4 teams that will be available

77-85 3rd in NL East

Team Profile - Former Philadelphia Continentals
14th pick in the draft

This franchise has had stable ownership with only 1 owner since the beginning of Knuckleball. After making the playoffs 5 out of 6 years, the franchise had their worst year in franchise history but still had 77 wins. The team still has some veteran talent and the next owner will need to determine if they are going to go all in to build a winner or take those veteran assets and use them to rebuild.

7th pick in the draft

This team has always had some talent, but in a tough division has had a hard time putting enough together to compete. They have been middle of the pack and need someone with a vision to push them towards the top. With some solid pitching already in place, some of the foundation for that push may already be there.

4th Pick in the draft

Abandoned early in the season, a veteran owner came in and made trades, drafted, and signed international free agents to help stock the minor leagues. He set it up for whoever is ready to come in and take on this rebuild. He also worked it so there is only 1 major league contract left on the team so this is not a rebuild with bad contracts or old players. This is setup very nicely for someone to put the time in to build a contender.
