Divergent League doesn’t stop at the Player Draft, we also do a second pick for the bottom 20% of teams in the league by win % at the All-Star Break. This year the 3 Hardship Draft teams are:
The managers of these teams will be able to pick any player from any non-player controller team to add to their roster, starting immediately after the All-Star Game. It’s going to be an interesting last half of the season!
Our next game broadcast is set for Thursday, June 29th 2023 with the Texas Rangers taking on the Chicago White Sox. Watch along live on YouTube at 12:30pm Pacific time.
This will be the last game shown before 1999 All-Star Weekend, with the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game being broadcast this weekend, followed by the Hardship Draft.
We’re back! The Commish apologizes for the time dilation, there. But the 1999 season marches onward, almost a year after our last broadcast game.
