We did not get as much interest as I would have hoped; especially across three forums, but I could understand people not knowing what this is about.

I will not be deterred and keep on going - hopefully word of mouth will work for next season.

[Southpaw19]

@BaconRev is over for his roster, due to the error at 1B.
I'm allowing him to edit his roster, because I was not around when he posted.

Bench moves:

Tyler Soderstrom and Matt McLain for Kris Bryant and Tyler Freeman

• You may change your Bench Player(s) three times in the first half of the season and three times in the second half of the season.
  HOWEVER … there must be fourteen (14) days between bench player transactions.

 

You have to choose which transaction you want now, and which one will activate in 2 weeks.

Good googa mooga championship hangover

I may not be available next week for this move so here’s my second WC: James Wood for Tyler Freeman

@Southpaw19 do I have the payroll to drop Devers for Riley? 

Yes, you can make that move. 
$975 - 75 + 50 = $950

[Southpaw19]

My first bench move:

Drop Shaw
Add Soderstrom

Thanks Cubs!

@TomtheBombadil This was not made yet, as I didn't see your confirmation on the transaction.
