With the deaths of Jose Fernandez and Yordano Ventura, what are your thoughts in giving comp pick for owners? Or making a rule for dealing with compensation for players?

I'm not sure a comp pick can really make up for the loss of a major league talent that is lost, but I would be fine with it (as long as minor league losses are handled the same way).
That's unnecessary. It's obviously a major loss and it severely impacts players, fans, and organizations, but there is no need to add a rule that would subjectively add picks. I think we're all just thinking about it more because there has been 3 tragic baseball deaths in 6 onths.

Correct.
Many leagues have modified their rules to accommodate for "tragic and sudden" losses as a direct result of the loses that you mentioned.
It's actually 2 tragic deaths within the past few months Ventura and Fernandez unless your including Oscar Tavares but that was 2 years ago.

I included Andy Marte because he was a top prospect for a long time. I just think it's too difficult to come up with a compensation plan that is fair to everyone. Hopefully, there won't be any need to even think about this again for a long time.
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?

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
