We're a long term 12-team NL only league that's been around for around a quarter of a century. Each team can keep 13 MLBers plus four prospects. Players can be kept for up to five years once they're in the majors and essentially forever until that happens. Teams have 22 active players: 9 or 10 pitchers; 12 or 13 hitters (instead of CI and MI, you have 1 INF; instead of a fifth outfielder, you have a swing an who can be any hitter or a pitcher). It's 5x5, but instead of AVG and runs, we use OBP and hits, and instead of K's, we use k's minus walks). There are also four reserve slots, three DL slots and four prospect slots. We have weekly FAAB, but allow daily moves from reserve or DL to and from the active list. The newest owner in the league dropped out after three months and that's who we're trying to replace. The team has a nice core of keepers, including Votto, segura,Kang, Peraza, Zobrist, Strasburg, Wacha, J Garcia. We'll waive fees for moves for the rest of this year for whoever takes over the team (and agrees to stay with it). If interested PM me it post here.

Phil - your PMs are fullOnly 1 team with a payroll lower than 18th in the league has won a World Series in the last 35 years and
Only 2 teams with a payroll lower than 16th in the league have won a World Series in the last 35 years
Additionally, since 1992 (the year when the salary gap between the top and bottom teams first exceeded $40 million and when the top spending team first spent 5 times more on payroll than the lowest spending team), a team in the top 10 in payroll has won the World Series 67% of the time while a team in the bottom 10 of payroll has won the World Series only once or 3% of the time
MLB is broken. The perverse economic system the game has and continues to operate under is destroying the game and competitive balance. Unless you can buy a World Series, your team has virtually no chance of winning one. Attendance continues to decline because the fans see this travesty and have been increasingly turned off. Unless changes with a salary cap, salary floor and more fulsome and meaningful revenue sharing are put in place, the sport will eventually implode as generations of fans are being lost. Will anyone wake up? I doubt it
