Breaking EL News: The Offseason Begins
Friday, September 18th , 2026
Wait until next year!
That is the battle cry for the fans of all but one EL team. While the 2026 champs get to brag to their buddies about the championship, it's time for general managers to rehash last year and figure out ways to improve their teams. It is the offseason in baseball. The diamonds and the stadiums are void of activity, but the front offices are bristling with energy. Good teams want to stay good -- bad teams want to get good -- and all teams want to get better.
So get ready for the ecstasy of a superstar savior's signing, the joy of re-signing a valuable performer, but also the heartbreak of losing a bidding war or saying farewell to that retiring vet. Nothing is happening on the field, but off the field, the offseason is rarely dull.
You may now vote for the league award winners, the option is available in the league menu.

Richmond Tops Erie
Wednesday, September 16th , 2026
A celebratory mood filled the air as the Richmond Flying Squirrels closed out the season with a 5-2 victory over the Erie SeaWolves at Jerry Uht Park to capture the Round 1, 3-2.
Giving the SeaWolves credit for a hard-fought series, Flying Squirrels players said they believed throughout the postseason that their "destiny" was to be crowned Eastern League champions.
"We felt like this was our year all season long," said first baseman Ron Thomason, who was named series MVP. "It was our destiny to win it and we did."
It was the 3rd in franchise history. During the Northern Division regular season Richmond put up a 79-61 record and finished first.
"They're the champions and they deserve it," said a dejected Erie manager Brad Ausmus. "We played good ball, they just played better than us."
