someone please fix this contradiction ....
Prospect contracts
- All prospects are players who have fewer than 150 major league at bats or 50 innings pitched. The only way to obtain players for our minor league rosters is via the minor league drafts or via trade.
- However, minor league players can be nominated in free agency, during the regular season only, if they are currently in the major leagues (26 man roster). These players will have standard major league contracts and are not eligible to be demoted to the minor leagues at any time.

I raised this in the chat and no one seemed to care. I think we're operating on 'house rules' now where once free agency opens anyone with MLB time can be bid on.

That’s always been the rule, has it not? Where is the confusion coming from?

Guys that made their debut last season, never got picked up in free agency, and are thus not on a roster…those guys should not be allowed to be bid on in free agency.
A) that’s per the rules B) if we have to wait until after a guy gets called up during the season…we lose a competitive advantage if we want to take a risk 2-3 days before Callup.
For example: Yainer Diaz and Spencer Steer — how are they allowed to be bid on as free agents if they are still “prospects” and have not surpassed service limits??

Well along time ago there was a discussion to clarify the rule for acquiring MiLB players. The vote failed in 2015. My opinion we should discontinue acquiring players before 50/150, this would be a more consistent rule and remove any discrepancies.

on another note....
"- Managers will then have 24 hours to clear a roster space or the managers bid is declared invalid. A $1 cap penalty will be be declared for all teams that do not clear a roster spot within 24 hours. - All teams must have the necessary salary cap space available when placing any free agent bids.
- All players won in free agency or claimed on waivers must be picked up on yahoo within 5 days of being acquired. If not, the bid will be declared illegal and the team will lose the player's rights and be docked $1 salary. The team with the last legal big will have the option of winning the player or declining and placing him back in free agency."
A manager has 5 days to add a won player but needs to make roster room within 24 hours of winning the player? Can someone explain this ?

on another note.... (reply) If your roster is full, you have 24 hours to open up a spot. If your team isn't full you have 5 days to get the player on your team.
someone please fix this contradiction .... (reply) The way I read that is: Prospect = Minors ONLY if drafted, can only draft a prospect. Can call up anytime before 50/150 (forced, the season after exceeding) MLB Player = fair game, just can't drop them to Minor league roster
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
