I am looking for starting pitching and long relief pitchers. What I'm looking for is starters who could be #3-5 pitchers with NOT long contracts that are priced high, I'm looking for innings eaters on one or two years left on contracts. Same goes with long relivers.... If you got some just email me please.
Thanks

Highlands and Seattle make 5 player deal !!
Highlands and Seattle make a trade... Seattle will acquire back 3B Bailey who just two seasons ago was traded to Highlands. Highlands will get veteren SP watts who might float between starter and relief, also coming is MR Metcalf who will be set-up. Last are two prospects from AAA OF Carson who will get chance to start or be 4th outfielder and 3B James who has power and will get the chance to start off the bat.. Maybe these trades made will help change the culture that's been bad the last couple of years.

Highland and Philadelphia make trade
Highland owner John Carrano went shopping at the Philadelphia trade mart as the two teams completed a blockbuster trade this afternoon.
Heading to Highland are starters Will Hickford and Eric Hammond (AAA), as well as rookie OF Jorge Benavides. Philadelphia receives pitcher Harold Gregory, SS prospect Jose Garza, and Highland's 1st and 2nd round picks in 2032.
"We intend to use Gregory in the bullpen next season," Philadelphia GM Michael Weintraub stated. "We think he has late-inning potential."

Philadelphia's Trading Depot
Wow, the free agent class of starting pitchers is very weak, right? Well, if you need an upgrade to your rotation, Philadelphia has three rotation-toppers up for trade:
- John Ryan - former top 3 pick has turned into a dependable 4-WAR starter.
- Will Hickford - shows top of the rotation potential
- Yorikane Kichikawa - veteran ace coming off a "down" season where he had 4.25 FIP and 3.1 WAR
I have a few available starters at AAA:
- Ivan Gallardo - dependable veteran 5th starter type.
- Eric Hammond - top-20 prospect, forced his way from single A to AAA by the end of the season. Probably not yet ready for the majors, but will be a formidable starter when he arrives.
Do you need a 1B upgrade, and are afraid to give a contract to either of the 37-year-old free agents? Perhaps you want someone ten years younger, not even into their prime yet?
- Javier Ortiz - steady hitter, just finished his age-24 season. 111 OPS+ in two-plus seasons.
- Javier Cisneros - prospect who has torn up AAA the last two seasons. Ready for the majors.
- John Dodds - not young, but absolutely destroys LHP. Can platoon or come off the bench for a big late-inning hit.
I have a glut of major-league caliber outfielders available, including:
- John Willis - steady left fielder. Led off for me last season due to .382 OBP (.398 vs RHP!). Has 20-HR power and hits for average. What's not to love?
- Jorge Benavides - 24-year-old came out of nowhere to force a promotion from AAA and then tore up major league pitching: .913 OPS, 140 WRC+. Finished 3rd in Outstanding Newcomer voting.
- Jose Molina - Excellent 4th OF, can play anywhere with exceptional defense.
More outfielders, currently in AAA, who can play in the majors now:
If one of those players, or anyone else on my roster interest you, don't hesitate to reach out.

Sim's done: Arbitration time
Game Date: November 3rd, 2031
Next Sim: Wednesday night. This will handle the arbitration hearings and sim the three days that lead to free agency. This is your last chance to sign your potential free agents!
OOTP 19: Any thoughts? We've had a few lukewarm comments, but no one has expressed a strong desire either for or against upgrading this offseason.
