We are now only 2 days from the due date. For the 7 people that have gotten their keepers in, thank you. You can submit alterations if necessary. For the 9 people that haven't gotten them in, you should get them in before the due date. Again, this is a FIRM due date and if you miss, you will enter the expansion draft process.

Welcome one and all to the 2025 AltLB Expansion Draft! The participating teams submitted their lists of rankings. I went through the lists, alternating between the teams, until the teams hit the 120 budget OR there were no players left on their submitted list. This gave the Toronto Talons with 16 players and the Montreal Saints with 13. The team listed at the end is the team that had the player last season, just so you can see where players came from.

The next step in the off-season process: the AltLB draft. To determine when the draft will be, please fill out the When2Meet.

And we now have a draft date and time: Monday, March 24th at 8:30pm Eastern Time (7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain, 5:30 Pacific)

Draft order is updated. If you're not able to make that date/time, ensure to set your rankings beforehand.

It's time for the 2025 season of AltLB Baseball, and the 2024 American League pennant winning Oklahoma City Bison are starting on the road, as we head to the Twin Cities to take on our geographic rivals... I guess. But they're the Minnesota Gemini. As such, we're going to be in the standard road khaki uniforms and are featuring our star hitter, DH Kyle Schwarber. #WeAreOK

New year, new team, new league. The Thunderbirds are ready to take on the new Continental League for another successful year, starting with a familiar foe in the Los Angeles Condors. They're also trying to make something of the new league they were placed in, but taking us on at home will be a tough challenge. Leading off for us this year is our  star SS Elly De La Cruz, who hit .259/.339/.471 for 25 home runs, 76 RBI's and a league-leading 67 stolen bases. #Thunderstruck
