Start of the New League Year

Hello everyone, and welcome back for another wonderful season/summer of wiffleball across our great nation. Today is the start of the new league year for Major League Wiffleball. This means that teams can execute trades and begin signing free-agents. This year there is a particularly large number of free agents available, as well as more players being added to the union due to the league expansion. Two new franchises, one from North Jersey, one from the Toms River area, and one from Buena, will all join the league this year bringing the total teams to 8.
