Spring training is officially underway, and across the Roger Dorn Baseball League front offices are watching box scores, beat reports and backfield reps with unusual intensity. This isn’t just about MLB roster spots — it’s about keeper decisions, cap flexibility and whether a prospect’s Minor League deal turns into a 1R/$1 activation before Opening Day. Several contenders are protecting tight keeper cores, while rebuilding clubs are weighing upside against patience. Below is

With less than six weeks until the March 22 draft in Redwood City, the RDBL pitching market is already taking shape — and it’s clear this off-season will be defined by innings, not hype. Several contenders are projecting within striking distance of the 8,600-point target but sit unevenly constructed, heavy on bats and light on reliable rotation volume, while others are carrying surplus arms on team-friendly contracts. The Keeper sheet shows a widening gap between expensive fr

The 2026 Baseball America Top 100 Prospect list reinforces a familiar truth in the RDBL: elite talent concentration matters, and a handful of organizations continue to separate themselves from the pack. At the very top, Baseball America leans heavily into premium shortstops and athletic position players, with Konnor Griffin, Kevin McGonigle, JJ Wetherholt, Jesus Made, and Walker Jenkins forming an elite tier that blends ceiling with long-term fantasy relevance. These are not

If you’re looking for the toughest neighborhood in the RDBL, you don’t need advanced metrics or historical spreadsheets — just glance at the Peninsula Division. Titles, deep playoff runs, and sustained contention have become the norm here, not the exception. The Burlingame Blue Ducks claimed the 2025 division crown as part of a historic season for GM Ryan Walsh, pairing a Regular Season Championship with a near-miss RDBL title that fell just three points short. Meanwhile, the

Every offseason, the RDBL’s 12-player Major League keeper cap quietly reshapes the league. GMs are forced to make hard decisions — not just about talent, but about who actually deserves to occupy one of those twelve precious spots . The result is a familiar tension: proven production versus roster flexibility, present value versus future leverage. What changes the equation — and fuels this year’s trade market — is the advantage held by teams that drafted well in the reserve d

The RDBL Reserve Draft is where the long game truly begins. After the chaos, cash burn, and calculated gambles of the auction, this is the moment when franchises pivot from winning now  to building next . Every name called in the Reserve Draft represents optionality—future surplus value, trade leverage, and the chance to lock in a cornerstone before the rest of the league catches up. It’s quieter than auction night, but make no mistake: this is where championships are often s

This article ranks the 25 greatest offensive seasons in Major League Baseball history (since 1901)  using pure RDBL scoring  — the same scoring system that has fueled heated debates, questionable keeper decisions, and at least one “I’ll never trade with you again” text message in our league’s history. To make this list fair across eras — from Babe Ruth to Barry Bonds to Shohei Ohtani — we made two intentional scoring adjustments: Hit by Pitch (HBP): removed Sacrifice Flies (S

The 2026 RDBL Free Agent Pool is one of the deepest and most star-studded in recent memory, featuring a remarkable blend of elite hitters, frontline arms, and versatile contributors that could reshape the league’s competitive landscape on Draft Day. Headlining the pool is Tarik Skubal , who leads all free agents by a wide margin after posting over 1,200 points across the last two seasons — a testament to his sustained dominance from the mound. Behind him, perennial MVP-calib

The release of the 2026 MLB.com Top 100 Prospects list offers a data-rich snapshot of how aggressively the Roger Dorn Baseball League has leaned into long-term roster construction. Of the 100 ranked prospects, approximately 55 are currently rostered, leaving 45 players — 45% of the list — still sitting in free agency. For a 15-team league that has been running for over a decade, that level of unclaimed elite talent is striking and suggests the next phase of roster consolidat
