How is that so? I don't understand that? Can you explain how it wont hurt a budger in the west but it would in the central?

It has to do with existing teams in the Central and the distance between them. Also, how mogul is set up

Just going from previous experience, I was in a very successful league a couple years ago. It was going into 2018 and had been going for quite a while. They decided since they were doing to good and had a huge waiting list, to expand. It ended up ruining the league. After a couple seasons, things went hay wire and 80% of the GMs that had been there 1 year or more left. Expansion, IMO, takes away from the realism. If the MLB were to expand IRL, then expand the league. It seems that you guys are trying to keep it as real as possible with the rules that are in place. I don't see any reason to expand. You have a waiting list that works. Why mess with perfection? IMO, expansion will only hurt the league.

I like it, but I only like if I can move my team. Because I think we should worry about the teams we have currently, and ive competed every year but have a payroll issue every year. I feel this wont help at all!

My words exactly.

I don't like this because not all small market teams can move, i'd like to move my team too, and I know the Marlins have also expressed interest.

You guys honestly think FCM can be killed by expansion?

Still against it. Although I like BurnedStang

Calgary? another small market team in expansion will not work. We will have the Montreal Expos part Deux.

I'm just going off of my previous experience. I've been in an very similar situation in a different league and it worked for a couple sims, but then it was all down hill from there. I for one am against it. I won't quit or anything silly like that, but I'm just sharing my thoughts.
