We don’t know all that much about 2K Sports’ baseball strategy game, MLB Front Office Manager. What we do know is that it will put you in the shoes of a team’s general manager (GM), and you’ll be the one calling the shots to try and assemble a championship club. If you’re interested in specifics, check out the first developer diary for the game above, which is all about customizing your GM.

If that’s enough for you to decide on a purchase, MLB Front Office Manager is now available as a budget title ($40 instead of $60) for the PS3, 360, and PC (press release is after the jump). The game’s box art is here, if you’re so inclined. But if you’re not yet sure if you want to lay out the forty bucks, two more dev diaries are on the way.
