Well, here come the 2021 World Series champions who will make someone a lot of money in Vegas.........the Boston Red Sox!

My plan is to throw the kids into the fire and make one big move.

C-Vasquez, Wong
1B- Dalbec/Casas (L/R platoon)
2B - Arroyo, Jeter Downs (utility)
SS- Xander
3B - Devers
LF - Verdugo
CF - Duran
RF - Renfroe/Franchy platoon
DH - JD

SP - Sale (his elbow is healed!), E-Rod, Eovaldi, Houck/Pivetta, potential trade

Bullpen is set with Barnes, Ottavino, Sawumara, Houck/Pivetta, Darwinson, Whitlock, trade.

I'm thinking I'll go after MadBum and hopefully Arizona has a reliable bullpen option. Have to wait until midnight, but LET'S GOOOO!!!!!

I forgot Kike! Downs might start in AAA while I see how Arroyo hits.

@CB, thanks for sharing the gameplay on youtube of your Franchise Gm 2. The sounds, walkup & in between were good. Was it on the PS5?

Ready to start my franchise tonight!! Spent all day since Thursday recreating from the show 20 all the prospects on the 93 man roster for my team and got rid of all the fakes so my team is set! Also added some missing players like shogo, Arihara and puk and some high prospects like torkelson. Played spring training games to get my dynamic difficulty set to where I like and ready to roll!

Had some difficult roster decisions to make after spring but had to reward some relievers who really performed over veterans who stunk it up.

No that was PS4

Usually I'm a RTTS guy, but with the problems in the mode, I'll be making a franchise for first time in a while.

Since I run a "realistic" franchise thing in OOTP already, I'm going make a fantasy draft with some changes to the divisions and some other small things.

I wonder does anyone know how the draft logic is? Like are young players and top prospects going early, or does CPU teams favor higher rated players over them?

How's my Cubs rebuild going?

In year one, I've acquired through trade:

Jaylin Davis, Heliot Ramos, Sean Hjelle
Christian Pache, Drew Waters, William Contreras
Luis Garcia, Jeremy De La Rosa
Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez
Stephen Gonsalves, Jay Groome
Andrew Vaughn, Zack Burdi
Wander Franco, Josh Lowe, Shane Baz
Clark Schmidt, Andrew Velasquez

Trade logic is still spotty at best. The Ray's seem dead set on trading their whole farm system, as they've traded away Wander Franco, Xavier Edwards, Michael Gigliotti, Lowe, Baz, Shane McClanahan, and Brent Honeywell.
