1. I get the picks you guys were talking about (#1, top of #2, comp picks) and the 3 buyouts
2. I get McMahon, Quinn, and Almora (none of which are true impact prospects) and maybe some of my $1/1yr veterans (Burnett, Colon, Qualls, Tazawa, Howell)
3. I get to change my name to the Miami Marlins
4. the opportunity to release a prospect and draft a different one right now would be nice as well

Fine with me. That team is going to be empty for at least a year though. Truly unfixable without some serious benefits. Bad contracts with no elite prospects is a tough sell.

I understand Zack, and I agree with you. If I can't fill the team with internal perks, then I'll either consider contraction or to paraphrase Jules from Pulp Fiction, 'If it takes forever, then I'll look forever'
Ironically, I thought about blending some of my own roster with the Braves to try and get a friend in here to take the group. Wouldn't have been a 50/50 split tho, ha.
Yea, it'd need to be the scenario where another owner is in place.
Still think we should commend Zack for being willing to take the challenge, even if he got to grab a few good things from his Angels roster, as even a slightly decimated Angels roster is >>> Braves roster + Angel extractions.
It may not be a bad idea to go over a couple of roster shakeup scenarios to get a new owner attracted to a franchise.
Since my team is poised to win another championship and clearly has the best roster in the league perhaps I will take over the Braves as a challenge as my current team is already a dynasty.

I agree about the A's being the frontrunner for 2015. And I would hate to hand a championship to a brand new league member... But i don't really see a way around it i guess if Lee is serious about the switch.
Tongue was planted firmly in cheek, I wouldn't talk my squad up that much other than to annoy several managers here. I am willing and have kicked in some talent to the Braves but I think I will enjoy my championship this year and try to win another.
Ryan (Cubs): Today is the last day to re-sign your restricted free agents! All players that are left unsigned will be dropped tomorrow and eligible for free agency

Padres (Rodger): Luis Matos is showing up twice on my roster sheet, as a OF and a SP, can you remove the SP line please.

Red Sox (Kris): We still have a MAX 20 prospects, correct?
Feb 26, 2024 9:15:10 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Yes. 20 prospects is the MiLB max, you either need to drop a prospect or call someone up if you are over that limit.
Feb 26, 2024 11:56:08 GMT -5
Red Sox (Kris): I don’t, but I know that some do. So, to be clear, we can draft over the 20 limit as long as we cut down before the season starts?
Feb 29, 2024 23:45:26 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you should be dropping a player anytime a draft pick or trade takes you over the limit of 20. I must've missed it but Yankees needs to release one of his MiLB players, they are the only team over the limit right now

Red Sox (Kris): Thanks for clarifying

Rockies (Jose): Is Yuki Matsui rostered?
Mar 12, 2024 16:15:04 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you can't bid on Yuki in free agency until he pitches an inning in the MLB. You could have drafted him in the MiLB draft, but players that haven't made their debut can't be nominated in Free Agency.

Mariners (Rook): I do believe Ronel Blanco free agent final bid of $3/3 by LAD is invalid and the player should be returned to free agency. That was LAD last transaction and it put his cap -0.25. We can’t go negative cap. What say you?
Apr 5, 2024 21:29:05 GMT -5

Ryan (Cubs): @mariners, correct. LAD's bid on Blanco put him $.25 over the cap so the bid is invalidated. I've messaged LAD and dropped Blanco from his roster
