Mariners Franchise In Dynasty League

We found out very late that our Mariners GM can't continue on with our 28 team dynasty league. Phase 1 of our slow auction draft (48 hours of no overbids to win a player) is starting Sunday, so hopefully someone responds pretty quickly. Anyway, the league is a 6X6 H2H (5X5 plus OBP and HOLDS), and organizations have the rights to all the players drafted by their real life counterparts (the Mariners in this case), as well as all international free agents signed other than Japanese and Cuban players. This is the 8th year of the league, and it is a pretty active trading league, so the M's organization isn't completely full of real life Mariners, though almost all of the top minor leaguers in the M's organization are still owned by the Mariners franchise in our league. Nick Franklin is the one major prospect missing, as well as Francisco Martinez and Chance Ruffin (who the Tigers originally had the rights to), and Carlos Triunfel (maybe a couple other lower level guys). But you would have the rights to some other decent specs in Jarrod Parker, John Mayberry Jr., and a few others. Rookie contracts start when a player crosses the 130 career AB or 50 career IP threshold and last 4 years additional to that "rookie" year at a 300K. We have a 100M salary cap, so these players are quite important, and there is a pretty big focus on minor leaguers in our league. There are a couple ways to retain good players at a discount after their rookie contracts have expired as well. The actual major league roster does not have too many Mariners on it. Young studs like Pineda and Ackley have been traded away, though you have Jason Heyward and other decent player to build around. It is more about the opportunity to join a fun league and shape your team with a big influx of players from your favorite organization (though many owners own franchises that aren't their favorite teams).

We need owners ASAP, and I've found that coming to SB Nation team blogs has been a great way to get interested knowledgeable owners in the past, so hopefully someone responds with their email address so I can give them a link to the page, some further team information, and answer any questions. I'm going to be posting this elsewhere, but I truly hope someone from this site responds first.
