RULE 5 DRAFT
-3 rounds minimum must be selected. Remaining rounds may be declined.
All rosters must have at least 15 minor leaguers at the conclusion of the Rule 5 draft.
-Player Pool: Minor league eligible players not signed to a team and players released due to the minor league promotion rule (see minors section for details).
-- Draft Order: Reverse order of the previous season’s standings.
**Any players drafted as part of the promotion rule release must be placed on the teams Major League roster***
OFFSEASON PROMOTION RULE
In the offseason minor leaguers that no longer qualify for the minors must be promoted to your major’s roster. If you choose not to promote them they will become available in the rule 5 draft. (See rule 5 draft rules above.
MINOR LEAGUE DROPS
-In the offseason you may drop up to 5 minor league eligible players with no player release penalty in order to make room for new minor league signings.
-Additional minor leaguers dropped in the offseason or during the regular season will be owed 50% of their salary ($275K).
QUALIFYING OFFERS
Free agents may be offered a qualifying offer if they played the entire season with the same team. The value of the qualifying offer changes from year to year and is determined by averaging the top 24 player salaries from the previous season.
A random.org randomized 5x is used to determine if a player accepts the qualifying offer or not.
- If a player accepts: They will be on a 1 year contract at the qualifying offer value
- If a player declines: They will become a free agent and is available to all teams in the league.
Compensation:
Teams that sign free agents who turned down qualifying offers must then forfeit their first available pick in the next MLB June Amateur draft. The forfeited picks don't go to other MLB teams; rather, the rounds just become condensed. The first 10 picks in the draft are protected, with clubs selecting in the top 10 of the draft surrendering their second-highest selections instead. If a team signs two free agents who rejected qualifying offers, then that team loses its top two eligible picks, and so on.
The player's former team obtains one compensatory selection at the end of the first round, even if the team sacrificing a pick gave up a pick later than a first.
