Hello everyone! Welcome to a brand new Franchise that I will bringing you through the forthcoming years! Please bare with me as I explain the whole scenario.
This year on MLB The Show, I wanted to do something a little different with franchise. With the new feature of creating or relocating a team, I knew this was an exciting way to start a franchise. Over the course of the last month or so, I was thinking of ways to start it or story lines that could go along with the franchise. And with all 2017 Astros cheating scandal being the big topic of discussion, lets route it along the lines of that.
In my own fantasy land, Robert Manfred is OUT as the Commissioner of Major League baseball now. Owners of the league decided to vote to have Manfred kicked for the handling of Astros' players when it came to the discipline of the scandal. New Commissioner, Scott Angevin has stepped into the role looking to keep the league clean, happy and healthy.
Scott Angevin's first press conference: December 31st, 2019
"I am happy to be in this new position and want to do anything and everything to make this league better in any way possible. Right now, baseball has an image of cheating and conspiracy. I want to make sure that is fixed right away, so we can carry on with this sport and make it how the founding fathers intended it to be. In the coming days, we will be issuing punishments for organizations, players and personnel involved with any of the cheating that has happened in recent years."
Scott Angevin Press Conference: January 7th, 2020
"MLB along with the other teams and the players association have met and decided to vote on any punishments that will occur, effective immediately. We took what we felt were the necessary procedures to make the game better and give consequences to the players who were guilty of cheating.
First, the Houston Astros organization will be banished of all operations. We felt it was appropriate to take this action because baseball needs a clean start. I apologize to all the fans, I know this can be very difficult. To the players and staff of the organization, I sincerely apologize for this, however you will all have the opportunity to play or work elsewhere - Details on that will be released in the near future.
Lastly, the following players will be punished. The acts that were taken to increase your chance of winning, not only each game but the World Series were despicable. We cannot allow this to slide, so we needed to take action on this.
These following players will receive a 1-year suspension for their roles in the 2017 cheating scandal.
Alex Bregman
Jose Altuve
George Springer
Carlos Correa
Yuli Gurriel
Marwin Gonzalez will receive a 81 game suspension for this role in 2017."

**Lastly, quick shout to to J from TnJ gaming (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6...ohQJy_4qIb_FbA) who releases AWESOME franchise videos. He started something like this a few days earlier, I saw it and decided to do my own with a twist on it (I took a lot of his ideas). I highly recommend heading to his channel and subscribing - He does some sports gaming videos!
