PENNANT: Baseball Owner

Game premise and style

PENNANT: Baseball Owner is a text-based baseball simulation game for PC where players assume the role of a baseball team owner. Rather than managing day-to-day gameplay, you oversee the financial and organizational aspects of a franchise. You must handle everything from budgeting and payroll to player trades and scouting, without the cushion of safety nets or the ability to undo decisions.

Player responsibilities

In the game, you buy a franchise, either in a big market or a small one, and inherit various responsibilities. Your general manager handles trades, while your scouting department evaluates player abilities. The game's mechanics revolve around managing your team’s finances effectively while navigating the complexities of player acquisitions and contract negotiations. As you control the budget, decisions made by your front office have direct implications for team performance and financial health.
