Every year, the SB Nation community comes together, under the leadership and tireless work of Max at Royals Review, to simulate the five-month MLB offseason in three days. I was the representative for the Yankees this year, giving New York an executive with good hair for the first time in a generation.
The bulk of moves are made within the simulation’s Slack channel, with a few thousand emails and texts sent over the three-day period. Before the sim starts, Max assembles the current roster and assigns a budget for each team to stick through.
