The five teams currently up for grabs:

Dover
Jacksonville
Washington

Do we know if any of those five owners are returning?

Ok so apparently Cory J. Lidle is returning and moving from Washington to Boston, meanwhile cool Twitter user @duyarvish is taking one of the other four. (He's the one who had Washington by mistake initially.) Also @TweetTheTreat is joining but I don't know anything about him.

How is it that Benito Reynoso refuses to retire? He has 10 AB since season 13. That's amazing.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.
Anyone have any interest in plus defensive SS/offensive liability Santiago Guillen? He only wants $1.5 in arb so he is cheap.

We had a cross-platform photo finish. Seth (the broken bones or whatever his name is on here) edged Tav out, so he gets first ibs if he wants.

Tav and another twitter Dodgers fellow go on the wait list (which I am now keeping)

Note for new people since we have a lot of them: raising training and medical budgets to the max as soon as possible is not an option. It is mandatory. The game rules say you have $185 million to spend however you'd like but in truth by your third season you should have $145 million with training and medical maxed out.

Every winning player in the history of this game has maxed these two items, you should too!

Oh, there's plenty of other balls in the sea. Plus, you're not very talented.
To be fair there is wiggle room (primarily in medical budget) if you need to squeeze a couple mil out of somewhere but it's best to do that only once you have a handle on the game. Before then, just max out training/medical.
