OKTOBERFEST KEEPER LEAGUE

To me the rules as they are now means you can compete even if you're drafting 12th for your franchise.

Yes. I struggled with that a bit, trying to achieve some balance.

Also, Burnes is carded to Milwaukee in ‘23 so whoever drafts the Brewers in the NL draft will have the rights to him. And if they use him this year, they’ll be able to keep him for next year but have to move him to their AL team.

(Right, Terry?)

Exactly correct. That's why somebody might choose the Angels, just to get Ohtani on their NL team in '24.

I agree that there should be a minimum # of franchise players on our teams that don't have to be the same guys year to year. Otherwise it's not a Franchise League. Terry, when do we post our 4 keepers? Should we be doing that now with our franchise selection?

An ongoing "core of four" probably makes sense, although not the same four from year to year.

As to posting your franchise players, you can add them to the franchise selection list, whenever you're ready.

Will we be allowing interleague trades?

Will we be allowing interleague trades?

Hmmm, in theory, I suppose so, although players could only play in their carded league.

Interleague trades between your own teams will not be needed, since players will automatically swap teams if they change leagues in MLB in the next cardset.
