2018 Team Ownership Changes

[Flash]

GMs of Franchise GM,

As most of you recall, last season we had to place a team in Receivership because general neglect.  That team has since made a bit of a recovery now that a dedicated GM has taken over the reins of the team and, as we had hoped, the team will once again become competitive.

At present, we are again faced with a similar dilemma in regards to the New York Mets.  During the 2017 campaign, the Mets were abandoned and a new GM was instilled at the tail end of the season.  That new GM proceeded to trade away a variety of assets and created a large amount of cap that we all believed was going to be used to restock the team for the upcoming season.  Alas, that has not happened as the present GM has completely whiffed on Free Agency thus far and has not added a single player to the Mets roster.  That $85.0m cap has essentially gone for naught as the team has only 24 players on it's MLB roster, some who will probably never even see the major leagues.  His lack involvement in FGM has reached a point where something must be done for the good of the league.  So after several failed attempts to communicate, we have decided to seek a replacement.  Such a decision does not occur without some reservations, but as moderators, we believe we must always strive to have active participation as a prerequisite to continued FGM membership.

Fortunately for us, another former member of Wonderboy has accepted our invitation to take over the Mets—with a full understanding that the team is a complete rebuild. 

Please welcome a new member to Franchise GM, Lance (lancealot2407), as the new GM of the New York Mets.

Welcome!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have heard many good things about this league and the managers who make it up. The Mets currently resemble that of a gutted fish. But there is nowhere to go from here but up. Thanks again for allowing me to run my favorite mlb team.

After a couple of seasons, Corey W. (poignantcashew) decided that rebuilding the Astros was an enormous task, and he felt it was time to step aside.  Corey has found a place more to his liking in another ProFSL league and we thank him for his time in FGM.

With that, we are fortunate to have an opportunity to have a formidable replacement in Brent H. (Brent).  Brent is a former FGM GM, and ProFSL veteran, who has returned from a well-deserved vacation and is now ready to jump back in the fray.  Brent has graciously agreed sign on as the new GM of the Houston Astros and we’re glad to have him back.

Please join me as we wish Brent a hardy welcome back to FGM!

With an apparent lack of interest by the interim GM, the Cubs have decided to call upon a former league member to take the reins.

Please welcome Art A. (hockeygoon33) as the new GM of the Cubs. 

Welcome!
