I believe we have found a 4th expansion owner. Stay tuned!

Wow, that was pretty quick...

Yeah I put out a blitz on our post on the OOTP forum along with Twitter which included the @ootpbaseball account RTing me which was helpful.

We also have at least 1 and possibly 2 additional that showed some interest as well.

We are still getting final details together but everyone please welcome Pete Grassi as our 4th expansion owner!

I'm glad to get you on board and help you get situated. I'll be happy to give you as much time as needed to get acquainted before we get moving with the Expansion Draft!

Don't hesitate to ask any questions either to myself via email or here on the forum!

Official announcement will be coming later but the 4th franchise will call Georgia home.

This will mean we will reshuffle the proposed divisions. Stay tuned for that change!

I had the question asked by Pete with Georgia about whether an expansion team could work out a deal with a current team that is interested trading for an expansion draft selection(s). I wouldn't be opposed to this but any deals would need to be confirmed by both teams as well as myself.

Here is the scenario if you need to see an example of this situation...

"Can expansion teams work out deals with current teams to make picks for them? For example, you see two players you like in the expansion draft and we work out a deal for me to select them for you with my#4 &5 pick?"

Seems reasonable to me, I know lots of those deals went on when MLB and NFL expanded.
