Clark's No Pants Party

8 proposals

Clark's No Pants Party has a very low keeper salary ($196/$500), giving enormous cap flexibility. The team is prospect-heavy with many unproven or underperforming young players. Strengths include solid SP depth (Pivetta, Ryne Nelson, Shane Smith, Arrighetti, Soriano) and some promising young bats (Busch, PCA, Moniak, Adell). Key weaknesses: no elite hitter, weak at 3B, thin at RP, catcher is unproven (Teel/Baldwin struggling), and several high-upside prospects haven't produced yet. The team should leverage its massive cap space to acquire proven stars from cap-strapped teams, trading prospect depth for established production.

Deville Dandies

8 proposals

The Deville Dandies have a strong pitching core (Gavin Williams, Pepiot, Waldrep, McLean) and solid position players (Swanson, Cruz, Riley, Dominguez). However, the team has significant weaknesses: no reliable closer/RP, a very young and unproven catcher (Ethan Salas with no FPTS), several prospect-heavy roster spots with no production yet (Bazzana, Celesten, Montgomery, Riggio, Isaac), and some high-salary underperformers. The team has $214 in cap space which gives flexibility to acquire proven talent. Key needs are: an elite bat or proven OF, a reliable catcher, and potentially a closer. The team could trade from its SP depth and unproven prospect surplus.

Diamonds Aren't For Devers

8 proposals

Diamonds Aren't For Devers has a strong core with Ohtani ($86), Mookie Betts ($68), Crochet ($22), and Max Fried ($35) but has significant weaknesses. The team lacks a reliable 1B (Devers is DH-eligible at 1B but $46 is steep for his current production). The OF is thin beyond Betts - Varsho, Lile, and Anthony are young/unproven. The pitching staff has upside but also risk (Bradish struggling, Cavalli unproven, Bubic injured). The RP corps is decent but Edwin Diaz at $29 is expensive. The team has $94 in cap space which provides flexibility. Key needs: a productive OF bat, a reliable 1B option, and potentially upgrading pitching depth while shedding some salary from underperformers.

Guys I Have Coached

8 proposals

Guys I Have Coached has a bloated $458 salary with several high-salary underperformers. The team has strong SP depth but is weak at C (Carter Jensen is unproven), has too many SS (Bichette, Tovar, Lombard, Aloy, Turner), and carries several low-production prospects. Key concerns: Bregman ($55) and Imanaga ($57) are expensive relative to production, Trea Turner ($50) is aging, and Jordan Wicks ($8) has been terrible. The team needs to shed salary from underperforming veterans and consolidate talent, particularly upgrading at C, getting a true CF, and improving OF depth with proven bats.

Honey Nut Chourio

8 proposals

Honey Nut Chourio has a strong core with Bobby Witt (SS), Kyle Tucker (RF), and elite SP depth (Cristopher Sanchez, Hunter Brown, Joe Ryan). However, the team has significant redundancy at C (3 catchers: Contreras, Wells, Basallo), 3B (Machado, Chapman, Fischer), and SP (10 starters). The team lacks a true elite 2B (only Polanco at 2B eligibility) and could upgrade at DH. Several high-salary veterans like Machado ($53) and Contreras ($34) are aging and could be moved for younger, cheaper talent. The roster is at $433/$500, leaving $67 in cap space, but trimming salary from underperformers would help. Key weaknesses: 2B depth, DH production, too many catchers, aging 3B options.

James Estrada and the Green World Order

8 proposals

James Estrada's Green World Order has strong pitching anchored by Skubal ($33) and solid bats in Schwarber and Carroll. However, the team has significant dead weight: Yamamoto at $100 is massively overpaid relative to production, Seager at $42 is declining with injury concerns, and several SP investments (Pfaadt $22, Gore $20, Gallen $26) are underperforming. The team lacks a true catcher, has redundant SS prospects (Parker, Rojas, Kilby, Culpepper, Arroyo), and needs upgrades at C, 2B, 3B, and LF. The $454 salary is tight but there's room to shed salary on underperformers to acquire better value.

John Rocker All-Stars

8 proposals

The John Rocker All-Stars are at 98.4% of the salary cap ($492/$500), leaving almost no flexibility. The team has strong SP depth (Luzardo, Gilbert, Glasnow, McClanahan, Grayson Rodriguez) and solid OF (Wood, Greene, Acuna, J-Rod). However, several high-salary players are underperforming or injured: Glasnow ($34, slow start), Hader ($34, elite but expensive), Acuna ($39, returning from injury with reduced production), Rutschman ($25, down year), Hoerner ($25, solid but expensive), Edman ($16, injured). The team has too many injured/stashed SPs (Steele out, McClanahan probable, Musgrove probable, Rodriguez probable) eating cap space. Positionally, the team is deep at OF and SP but could use upgrades at C (Rutschman underperforming), 3B (Jung limited), and needs to shed salary to gain flexibility for in-season moves.

#RallyZito

8 proposals

#RallyZito has elite offensive talent (Judge, Soto, Vlad Jr., Tatis, Caminero) and solid SP depth (Webb, Woo, Sale, Lodolo). However, the team is heavy on RF-eligible players (Soto, Tatis, Judge), has aging/expensive SP concerns (Sale $46, Cease $30 underperforming), lacks elite RP/closer help, and has several low-value prospects/stashes taking roster spots. The $457 salary is manageable but leaves only $43 in cap space. Key needs: RP/closer, upgrade at CF/utility, shed underperforming salary (Cease, possibly Sale), and consolidate roster depth into higher-impact players.

Rebels Cum

8 proposals

Rebels Cum has a solid young core with good salary flexibility ($250 of $500 used). Strengths include OF (Pages, Laureano, Soderstrom, Stowers), young SP depth (Bello, Mize, McGreevy), and elite closers (Hoffman, Gaddis). Weaknesses include: too many SS prospects with no clear path (Holliday, Williams, McGonigle, De Vries, Made, Wilson), lack of elite hitting at premium positions (no top-tier 1B, 2B, or 3B), catcher uncertainty (Dingler and Rushing both unproven), and some overpaid/underperforming assets (Singer at $24, Bieber at $15). The team should consolidate SS depth into impact bats or aces, and potentially move aging/risky pitchers for younger position players.

Take Maholm Tonight

8 proposals

Take Maholm Tonight has a solid core but several key weaknesses. The team has too many DH-eligible players clogging roster spots (Yandy Diaz, Ozuna, Santander, Herrera), aging/declining bats at premium salaries (Castellanos $36, Santander $22, Sonny Gray $33), and a bullpen that is largely mediocre-to-bad (Santillan, Vest, Vasil all struggling early). The team needs: a true 3B (Barger is the only option and is unproven), an elite closer/RP upgrade, and to shed salary from underperformers to create cap flexibility. Strengths include Jarren Duran, Trevor Rogers, Gausman, Zach Neto at great salaries, and some decent depth pieces.

THE Bathing Beauties

8 proposals

THE Bathing Beauties have a solid young core with Elly De La Cruz, Mark Vientos, and several pitching prospects. However, the team has significant salary tied up in underperforming or injured veterans (Yordan Alvarez $32, Cole Ragans $32, Michael King $18, Robbie Ray $35, Spencer Strider $20). The team has $198 in cap space remaining, which is healthy. Key needs include: a reliable top-tier OF bat, a consistent ace-level SP, and potentially upgrading at 2B. The team is prospect-heavy with many unproven assets (Nimmala, Miller, Jenkins, De Paula, Baez) that could be used as trade chips. The pitching staff has high upside but also high risk with Strider returning from injury, Eury Perez young and raw, and Ragans struggling early.

The Dang Kookaburra Polks

8 proposals

The Dang Kookaburra Polks have a strong pitching core (Skenes, Snell, Priester, Gil) but are overpaying for several underperformers. The offense has holes at 3B (no dedicated 3B), and the OF is thin beyond Rooker and Friedl. The team has too many SS-eligible players (Adames, Abrams, Arias, Rainer, Williams) and could consolidate. Donovan at $29 is overpaid for his production, Manaea at $33 is struggling badly in 2025, and Snell at $46 has been inconsistent. The RP corps is decent but Graterol is injured and Pagan is aging. The team needs a 3B, a high-upside OF bat, and should shed salary from underperformers to create cap flexibility.

The Hamate's Tale

8 proposals

The Hamate's Tale has a strong pitching core but several key concerns. The team is heavy on SS prospects (Arquette, Willits, Perdomo) with limited utility. Ketel Marte ($44) and Wilyer Abreu ($28) are high-salary players underperforming relative to cost. Corbin Burnes ($31) and Carlos Rodon ($24) are both out with elbow injuries, tying up $55 in dead salary. The team lacks a true elite OF bat and could use upgrades at CF. The bullpen is solid with Duran, Tanner Scott, and Dennis Santana. Jackson Holliday ($20) has upside but hasn't fully broken out. The team needs to shed salary from underperformers and injured players to create flexibility, and could use an upgrade at 1B or OF.

The South Side Fuck Ups

8 proposals

The South Side Fuck Ups have a solid pitching core (Wheeler, Valdez, Eovaldi, Horton) but several high-salary underperformers dragging down value. The offense is middling with no elite bat. Key needs: elite 1B (no dedicated 1B on roster), upgrade at 2B, and a true ace-level hitter. The team has too many middling OF options (Bellinger $45, Suzuki $51, Benintendi, Grisham, Ramos) and could consolidate. Relievers are decent but not elite. Several cheap prospects (Neyens, Griffin, Garcia) provide future value but no current production. The team has $85 in cap space which provides flexibility.
