10:00 AM
Beautiful Asheville, situated in the Appalachian Mountains – the home of the Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance, is once more the host of the Annual PEBA Winter Meetings, located in the Grand Ballroom of the Asheville Hotel. This year the GMs awake to an unseasonably warm day, skeletal ash trees rising over the ridges of the surrounding hills, a hint of mist lingering amongst them.

Our DJ hopes you enjoyed his rendition of the ‘8-Levels of PEBA Offseason Hell’: It begins, it rolls on, you find that big bat, you pray he’ll sign, then you find yourself squirming – waiting for a response, then throw so much money at them it defies logic, waiting in anticipation…

Welcome everyone – GM’s, owners, and the few media members who have been permitted to attend the events. Today we have a few items of League interest to discuss – but I’m sure that the bulk of the discussions will happen behind curtains, at the bar – have a seat Lenny – it’s not time yet. We may even see conversations under the tables of the Ballroom …

Procedurally, please send any trades you have in a Direct Message to me, Dylan and your trade partner. Please be sure to include the ACTUAL (not what you think) minor league level of any minor league player dealt. Once we announce the trade, please post it in the forums as normal. The Commish will then confirm the trades and adjust the Draft Pick Trade Tally as needed.

The Codgers are open for business. Who is sending me a couple power bats?
Mike - Borealis
10:12 AM
Hey Rob!!
10:13
ALERT: One of the most important things to remember is if you have Rule 5 players to protect, you must do so before Tuesday’s sim!!! Or forever hold your peace. No roster moves are allowed between Tuesday and Thursday’s sims. This is very important if you’ve traded for a Rule 5 eligible player!

Everyone: Also remember that those signed in FA between Tuesday and Thursday sims are protected from the Rule 5 draft just because well no rostering can occur during that time. We will make a list of those players and post it - so please don't add them to your rule 5 list. Make Dylan's life easier.

Still in the works will be a logo change for the Anchorage Mighty Moose as their logo is a hockey logo. After that will likely be a relocation and rebranding of the Fayetteville braggarts.

Hey all. I'm sure many of you have glanced at the future draft pools and have seen the giant elephant in the room that is the 2042 draft class of 3k+ players. I wanted to step in and let you all know this draft pool WILL be getting cut down.
The issue is a technical one that just sort of started happening in v24. Normally, a single feeder team consists of at most ~29 players and just slots them all on their main roster. But for some reason, the game has allowed these teams to generate anywhere from 33-40+ players an allows them to be stashed on their reserve roster. Hence that massive inflation of the draft pool. We will trim this pool, but I need access to OOTP 25 to test if this issue still persists in that version. That way we know HOW to approach trimming these players so that the game doesn't just re-generate them immediately.
So if you are tracking that draft class, just make note that a good chunk of those players will disappear at some point. (edited)
