Hello everyone,
Since we are paused it is a good time to make a ruling on offseason roster size and to review our current rosters. I have attached the salary tracker completely updated and the Fantrax site should be completely updated as well. If you see something incorrect with your roster please let me know and i can fix it.
ROSTER LIMIT RULING:
I have checked the rules over once again and there was not much feedback on the poll that i put on the site. Here is my decision in regards to our roster size.
I checked the rules and everywhere is listed as 25 players MLB max. I feel like I have to stick to the way the rule is written.
Therefore, we are going to cap the rosters at 25 players for the initial roster set up. If you are currently over the roster limit I am going to allow you to drop players to get back to 25 without a penalty because i feel like the only reason any teams went over in the first place was that i was on vacation this weekend so they were not caught immediately. If you are over please let me know who you are dropping so i can remove them from Fantrax and you don't get the cap hit penalty.
With that being said the poll did indicate that there is a want to have expanded offseason rosters, and the MLB allows expanded rosters in the preseason. Starting next year's offseason we will have expanded offseason rosters but drops will come with the 50% salary hit.
OTHER AUCTION/TEAM NOTES OF IMPORTANCE:
1, Merrill Kelly reset - His auction had multiple issues. Nashvilles bid came in late who i initially awarded him to. NY Mets would have the winning but but they are already over roster limit. He will be available to be nominated again,
2. Brandon Morrow - Auction reset - NY Highlanders won but it put him over budget. He has been removed from his roster and can be nominated in the auction again.
3. Please review your teams status below. Please make sure it is correct and if you need to take action please don't wait too long.
