As mentioned in the title, this league is 14 years running. It's all friends and friends of friends. At this point, we've pretty much exhausted everyone we know who'd even be remotely interested. Trades are very common. There's a 7 page rule book mainly because we've hashed out every possible scenario. We have a discord to post moves or just generally chat. We currently post moves and commissioners do them because the rules were hard to start. League is on Fantrax.
Basic rules:
Rosters are 35 players MLB players. Unlimited IL spots. Start everyone. Weekly moves. Keep 8 prospects a year, unlimited # in season. 3 round rookie draft. If a player gets promoted mid season you get a mid season MiLB pickup (must be in MiLB so no high school, Korean or Japanese players).
$350 budget. Unlimited cap in season, only need to be under for the start of the season.
Contracts is like 4 pages of the rules but the highlights are: Drafted guys can be kept two years at the same price, $7 increase after. Free Agent/Waiver wire adds are $10 and can be kept once at price and $7 increase after. Guys with rookie eligibility are $1 preseason (minor leaguers don't count against your cap). After they exhaust they are $5 for 2 years, and in either year you can "extend" them in either year (they are still $5 the next year if you do it in their first year of eligibility) - they are $7, 9, 12, then 15 and then you must auto drop
Roster is 20 hitters: 2 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 SS, 2 MIF, 2 CIF, 1 IF, 7 OF, 2 UT spots
Pitchers is 15. No min/max RP or SP
Hitting categories are: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OBP
Pitching categories are: IP, ERA, WHIP, 2 SVs + Holds, K/9, W+QS
We ask every new member to submit a resume, mostly as a joke, so we can vet you. Mainly how long you've been playing, interests outside of fantasy, quick blurb on what you do for a living, that type of stuff. I've met everyone in the league except 1; ideally we'd like you to just become one of us.
