2026 WS Fantasy Baseball Keeper League: The Signups

[Doom]

The 2026 MLB Season's less than three months away, so I've decided to go ahead and start the 2026 WS Fantasy Baseball League early. This season, I'm doing things differently: I'll be doing a keeper league. The keeper league's where you can keep up to three players (one batter, one pitcher and one relief pitcher, for the next 3-5 seasons. Also, instead of doing a live draft to draft our players, we'll be doing an offline draft. It's similar to the draft Juice ran for Fantasy NASCAR, and I quite like the format. Everyone will have 12 hours to make their pick, or else it'll be the next person's turn. The person who missed their pick, can still make their pick once they show. The player positions on the rosters remains unchanged. Once I start the offline draft, there will be list of player's positions: Catcher, First Basemen, Second Basemen, Third Basemen, shortstop, and so on, that will have "spoiler" tags, so it will be easier on everyone to make their pick. The pitching limit stands at 12. And, it's still on ESPN.

Anyways, Jam's the defending champion, as he defeated HoHo 734-704, to claim his first championship. Does he have what it takes to defend his crown against all challengers? We'll see, as THE SIGNUPS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN~!!!

As you know I'm looking to get up to eight people to join the league. I'll be tagging people for people who potentially wants to play.

So I like the keeper thing.

The offline draft thing is that just like a thread here or is it through the ESPN league but we don't all have to be on at once?

 

[Brett]

I'm here for this

It says you can do it on ESPN, but I want to do it on this forum.

 

[R-Troop]

Honestly? I would do it in-league.

Doing it here will probably lead to a lot of duplicates, and it will also lead to not knowing what you have on your roster.

I would say do the slow draft through ESPN but have the thread for the forum be active so we can chat about it.


My Dynasty Football league does email draft through the site we use there (FleaFlicker).

 

[R-Troop]

by the way I'm definitely in regardless. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.

I'll do it on ESPN then.

 

[R-Troop]

yeah I figure let ESPN do the legwork for you. Obviously we use the thread for chatting about the draft so we still get all the traffic to the amazing WS forum.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Think i sat out last year. Let’s try it again. In.

 

[Jam]

Gotta to defend the title. Let's do this!

 

[Blazehausen]

I'll think about it.

But I forget to check everyday to make sure my lineup is good lol. That's why I did bad the one time I played. Cause I just couldn't remember to do my lineup.

But I'll think it over.

 

[Matrix]

Im in. Also can we potentially make it so we can start more pitchers? Like just shrink the bench by 1 or 2 and make those SP slots? Or even standard pitcher slots to throw in an extra reliever.

 

[Matrix]

I also wouldn't mind shrinking the rosters in general just a bit. Free agency can be ROUGH as is.

 

[Doom]

Wow. We're filling up very quick. There's two more spots left folks!

 

[Doom]

Alright folks. I've trimmed the roster down from 28 to 23. Here's the changes:

- There will now be one utility player instead of 3.
- I've trimmed the bench from 10 to 8.
- I've trimmed the starting pitchers from 3 to 2.
