New Realignment Updates

[Andy Barnes]

With a 10-2 majority, which included 2 indifferent votes, the proposal to realign the league into an AL/NL Split with 2 divisions of 5 in each sub-league has been ratified.

Over the course of the upcoming week I will be working to update the Fantrax league, spreadsheet, and Proboards info to match this approved realignment. During this time please be mindful of which teams you are trading/interacting with since their franchise names could be changed.

I will be updating the logos on Fantrax to match these changes, but those teams that are relocating may need to do it as well. I've found that the icons in the FT chat channels don't update when I do the commish side. I can provide the logos to those managers so they can upload them on their end as well.

with the removal of Michael from the NYM franchise, we will let the incoming manager decide if he wants to be AL East or NL East with his franchise selection and Trent S. has stated that he's okay being either WSH or BAL based on that new manager's preference.

I will update the divisions and Rivalry Games accordingly once the vacancy is filled
