League Management,
I propose the following to deal with the Houston situation.
Allow a GM to keep a few players from the original roster (MLB roster 1 INF, 1 OF, 2 P; MiLB 2 INF, 2 OF and 2 P) and release the remainder to FA. Rebrand the team to a different name. With a completely depleted roster and the rebuild a GM can undue the damage that was caused and remove the stigma that was associated with that team.
I would also volunteer to take undertake that task.
Thanks,
Brent
