ML Team Openings - 2028 Offseason

The Dugout

With the offseason fast approaching (the playoffs start Wednesday), its time to start gauging interest for the team openings. Currently, the following teams will for sure be open in the 2028 Offseason:

• New York Yankees
• Pittsburgh Pirates / Miami Marlins
• Philadelphia Phillies
• Colorado Rockies

There may be one more team but we'll deal with that when / if it becomes available.

The current NBL roster of (redwings8831, JohnnyClutch, krtgolfing, and Kasper) will promoted to the ML. What I'm asking for now is:

• Interest from any current ML teams (not in danger of getting removed via the 5 year rule) to express interest (if any) in switching to any of the teams listed above.
• If you're one of the 4 NBL owners I listed above, please post a list of which teams you'd prefer in order (include the following teams: Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies, Miami Marlins <I'm assuming here that pitt4life21 will want the Pirates - baring someone else with higher seniority wanting them he likely will get them>).
• I'm also assuming that the Yankees will be taken by a current ML owner, if thats the case you can add that team to the list of teams you'd prefer as well.

Teams will be awarded to NBL owners with the following priority: redwings8831, JohnnyClutch, krtgolfing, Kasper

Let me know if you have any questions.


Open Teams / Interest:

• Yankees:
  • None
• Pirates:
  • pitt4life21
• Phillies:
  • krtgolfing
• Rockies:
  • JohnnyClutch
• Marlins:
  • redwings8831

I think Noles is just sick of being the NL East whipping boy

Can you give me a preference of teams, as mentioned above?

If you'd rather stay in Nippon, you dont have to move up right now.

As a tenured NL East member, I really hope JohnnyClutch gets his Marlins back I miss that rivalry from when he was there for the first decade of the Dugout.

Essentially, yes. Do you forsee this being an issue?

Also, for future reference (and starting with this offseason): You will only be allowed to switch to a current open ML team if you finished the previous year with a .500 record (in situations like this where the team comes open at season end you will have had to finish the current season with a .500 record).
