AI teams: When you lock in, the 11 AI teams each draft a full 12-player roster under the same $100M cap. Those are the teams you compete against all season. Trading with AI: Offer one of your players for an AI player at the same position, from My Roster. Within 25 points is a fair deal. Reach 26 to 100 points higher and the AI counters, asking for cap space. More than 100 points higher and it declines. Locked stars are never offered.

About Hot Corner

👋 Meet the Creator

Hi! I'm Shonneri, the person behind Hotcorner GM! ⚾

Funny enough, I didn't grow up watching baseball. I actually fell in love with the sport as an adult, and once I got into it, I really got into it. The history, the players, the statistics, the stories behind the teams. There was so much to learn, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to experience the game beyond just watching it.

Eventually, I wanted to try fantasy baseball for myself.

💡 So how did Hotcorner GM happen?

Well, I wanted to play fantasy baseball, but I wasn't particularly interested in joining a league full of strangers. I also don't have a group of friends that are super interested in baseball.

I just wanted to build a team, make some decisions, follow my players throughout the season, and see how well I could do.

So I came up with the idea for Hotcorner GM. Honestly, I just wanted to play it myself! 😂

But as the idea grew, I started thinking about other people who might want the same experience. People who enjoy baseball but don't necessarily have a fantasy league to join, or who simply prefer playing on their own.

That's how something I originally wanted to create for myself became something I wanted to share with others.

Now you can play solo against AI teams, create a league with your friends, or revisit historical baseball seasons through Relive.

And even if Hotcorner GM never attracts thousands of players, I'll still be here building my roster, checking my stats, and seeing how my season goes. Because at the end of the day, I created something I genuinely wanted to play.

📚 Bringing baseball history into the game

One thing that was especially important to me was including the Negro Leagues.

As I've learned more about baseball, I've also discovered incredible players, teams, and stories that don't always get the attention they deserve.

The Negro Leagues are an important part of baseball history, and I wanted that history represented in Hotcorner GM, too.

Through Relive, players can explore historical seasons that include Negro Leagues players and experience another part of baseball's incredible history.

🚀 What's next?

Outside of Hotcorner GM, I'm also on a mission to visit every baseball stadium on the East Coast over the next two years!

Baseball has become something I genuinely love exploring, whether that's visiting new ballparks, learning about the game's history, or finding new ways to enjoy the sport.

I'm excited to keep learning, playing, and seeing where all of this goes.

💬 Let's talk baseball!

I'm always open to hearing what people think about Hotcorner GM, what they're enjoying, and what they'd love to see added. Feedback is a Pro member benefit: Pro members can share ideas and requests through the Pro feedback form on their Profile page. You can also reach me at [email protected]. Pro members get priority feedback, so their ideas and requests go first.

Thanks for being here and giving my little idea a try. I hope you have just as much fun playing Hotcorner GM as I'm going to have playing it myself!
