Sim's Done. Welcome to 2023!

I ran the sim last night which flipped the virtual calendar to a new year.  Those sims tend to take a long time and I did not wait up last night until it was finished.  However, the sim was completed and I did upload the league file this morning (although I did not update the online reports).

Next sim:  Sunday.

Shackamaxon/Seattle trade

Frequent trade partners – and division rivals – Shackamaxon and Seattle have completed a trade.

Coming to Philadelphia (né Shackamaxon) is starting pitcher Juan Morrales and minor league OF Antonio Gonzales, in exchange for AAA infielder Salvador Berrera and A reliever Javier Lugo.

The teams will also swap spots in the second round of the 2014 amateur draft.

"We expect Morrales to challenge for the #5 spot in the rotation this season," GM Michael Weintraub of Shackamaxon announced.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, We Love Ya, Tommorow...

I'm going to have to delay tonight's sim to tomorrow night.

See ya then.
