2017 FA Period 3: Now - Wednesday 7/9 8AM EDT

[Providence A's]

The site will be uploaded shortly, so hold off until you can view your financial report to know exactly how much money you have left.

The third period starts now and ends on Wednesday 7/9 8AM EDT. Offers sent after the deadline will be ignored.

This is the final 10 day period of FA. After this we will have a period where people can submit their best 1-year offer to the scraps. After that period, it will be first come, first served with a few stipulations, which will be explained when the time comes.

I will PM you if player X won't listen to offers from you for whatever reason. Keep in mind that you cannot spend more money than what you have available for free agents on your financial report.

I won't be making any offers this round

Here are the FA rules:

Free Agency Rules

These rules are only in place to keep things moving and to avoid too many expensive contracts. We often complain about the real-life deals GMs make, so this shouldn't be a problem. Complaining will be ignored.

1. Each team can spend up to a max of 45 million dollars in one setting (You can never spend more than your available FA money). Pretty much, if you offer 45 million in contracts during the first round and either everyone rejects your deals, or you sign some and lose some, you may once again spend up to your limit in the following round. Length of contract does not matter.

Example:
Oakland offers 45 million to a group of players in round one.
20 of that remains on the table, Oakland can spend up to 25 million in round 2.

For example they offer:

Eric Chavez 9 million
Huston Street 9 million
Tim Wakefield 2 million
Todd Helton 25 million

Let's say Chavez, Street, and Wakefield like their offers and will consider them, but they don't sign right away. Helton flat out rejects Oakland. Oakland would be able to offer up to 25 million on other free agents in the next round. He will be able to offer more when the other three players either sign elsewhere or sign with Oakland.


2. Each team is limited to only one 14+ million dollar per year offer throughout the entire free agent period. If that player signs elsewhere, you may again offer a 14+ million deal. Length of contract does not matter.

Example:
Texas offers Roy Oswalt 15.9 million per. Oswalt signs. Texas may not offer 14+ million to another player.

3. Each team, per round, may offer only two MLC deals. This is one of SBSL's old rules.

4. There will be no rules regarding trading players you sign. The TC, however, will be watching such trades carefully.


It's simple math guys, I trust you will follow the rules or at least try to.
If you violate the rules, you will lose any player(s) that you ended up signing while breaking rules.

Also, no changes will be accepted at this time. Promotions and demotions will be allowed before ST is run. Lineups and rotations after ST.
