The Talkin' Baseball progressive league is soon heading into its 69th season! The league started with the 1950 season, and we are looking for
at least 1 new owner to join us starting in the 2018 season. The season should get underway around July 26th.
Important: We are looking for owners who are looking to stay with us until we catch up to the current MLB season (estimate is we will play through the 2024 season). By joining us and playing through the 2024 season, you'll also be invited to participate in the possible reboot of our league (details will need to be worked out with current league members as to what year we start with, how many teams, etc), as if we can avoid it we will not be recruiting new owners for the reboot through the progressive classified thread.
The open team at the moment is New York (calls Yankees Stadium (III) home). You
must remain in your home park for at least 2018 but you can opt to change to another AL park starting in 2019 if you'd like and if you let me know prior to the start of the 2019 season. Current AL parks open for 2019 are Minnesota - Target Field, Houston - Minute Maid Park, Kansas City - Kaufmann Stadium, 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. The owner had to unexpectedly resign at the last minute, but leaves behind a strong team with no glaring holes. We go on the clock on Monday, July 10th to finish the regular draft. We are currently drafting OFF the clock in round one. This franchise has the 18th pick in round one. As of this post, there have been 9 picks made so far in Round One. The AAA draft will begin on Monday, July 17th and end on Thursday, July 20th, which will allow you to pick up an additional 6 players that have not yet been drafted.
