 Contract Buyouts and Voids
 C




About Contract Buyouts: Teams can buyout player's contracts before the
trade deadline. The team will pay 50% of the players Avg salary for all
years remaining and the player will go to free agency. After a season
e
ends the next season's buyout will be available to use immediately.

Number of Buyouts per season:
N
DSB: 2 players

Contract Buyout Eligibility: Players must be on the team's roster for a
minimum of 2 FULL match-ups to be eligible for a contract buyout.
Buyouts cannot be used on the following players:
DSB: A 38+
     Age

Contract Buyout Settlement: A team has the option of settling the
contract in a lump sum or if the player has more than one season left on
his contract the buy-out money can be distributed over the remaining
seasons (50% off each season remaining). If money is owed (because of
Avg Salary) the team can distribute the money over any guaranteed years
remaining. If any cash is credited it will come off the player's remaining
salary.
s

No set-off: If a player's contract is bought out by a team, and the player
is signed through free agency, the player’s original team cannot set-off
the difference of contracts.
t
Resigning: After a player has been released and a team's buyout was
used, the releasing team cannot bid on the player in free agency for 21
days.
d

Contract Voids: If a player retires or his contract is voided by his "real"
team for any reason, an owner has the option to void the player’s
contract within 14 days of the official retirement/void announcement.
Once a player’s contract is voided the team no longer has any rights to
the player and the player is now a F/A. The releasing team cannot resign
the player in free agency for 90 days.
t

Retired Players Clause: Each years salary that is voided will be the
players avg season salary and any remaining money will be owed. The
following is a list of the number of years that can be voided for a players
age:
a
 D
 DSB
2
29 and under - All years
Players 30-32 - 2 years
P
Players 33-37 - 1 year
Players 38+ - 0 years
P

Note: Once a player retires a team buyout cannot be used. The team
must use the retirement scale. If a player retires within 90 days of a
team using their buyout, the buyout will be rescinded and the team must
use the buyout scale if they want to void a contract.



    Contract Structuring
    C




About Structuring Contracts (Optional): When a team signs a contract
that is more than 1 year, team owners can structure the contract. The
contract must ascend or descend. Consecutive seasons can have the same
salary amount. The way a contract is structured cannot change for any
reason.
r

25% Rule: The Max/Min from season to season in the contract cannot be
more than 25% of the Avg salary. If 25% of the Avg salary is less than $1M,
$1M may be used.
$


Maximum and Minimum Salary: The salary per season cannot exceed the
league maximum salary. No salary can be less than the 1 year minimum
in
i any of the structured years.

Example: 5 years/$10M per ($50M total). Salary from year to year cannot
be more than a $2.5M increase or decrease (25% of $10M (Avg salary) =
$2.5M). year-1:$6M, year-2:$7.5M, year-3:$10M, year-4:$12.5M,
y
year-5:$12.5M.



    Team Options
    T



P
Team Options: Team Options can be offered when signing free agents. If
a team does not pick up a player's option the team will pay the player a
$500k buyout and he'll become an unrestricted free agent. Team Options
will
w not lengthen an original contract for RFA status or any other reason.

Team Option Amounts: Option years will have a base salary using the
player's highest single season or Avg season salary (whichever is highest)
plus an additional 25%. The 25% of salary will have a minimum of $1M and
maximum of $4M when adding to the player's base salary.
m

Bidding Options: When a team uses a team option -only- to outbid, the
buyout will increase $500k each time the team matches the bid with an
o
option on that free agent.




  Rosters - D
            DSB

40-Man Roster (Major League)

30 man rosters in Yahoo: C 1B 2B 3B SS LF CF RF INF OF UTIL, 5-SP, 5-
RP,
R 2-P, and 7 BN

Match-up Roster Size: All teams can have a minimum of 25 and
maximum of 30 players for each match-up.
m


Max Pitchers on Roster: Teams cannot have more than 16 pitchers
active on their 30-man roster.
a

Mandatory Players: Teams are required to fill all their active roster
spots during match-ups. Any team that has an inactive player/injured
player/empty spot for 7 days will be issued illegal roster fines.


40-Man Roster (AAA Minor League Roster)

About Optioned Players: When a player is on the 40-man roster but not
on the active 30-man roster, he is on an optional assignment. During an
option year, the team may freely move the player between the major
league team (30-man in yahoo) and their minor league AAA team (10
players not in yahoo).
p

Eligible Players: any player that has less than 5 MLB years (1 game is
considered a year), listed on the 15-Day DL, or a player with 5+ MLB
years that has cleared waivers.
y

Active/Inactive Moves: Each Sunday by 11:59 pm EST, owners must post
on
o the forum any changes for their 40-man roster and update the IR-List.

Injuries: During a match-up if a player gets injured and has a DL next to
his name, teams may immediately call up a player in their minors (A or
AAA) to replace him.
A

Player Suspensions: If a player is suspended for six or less days, he must
remain on the active 30-man roster or he can be waived. If the player is
already on a minor league team he does not have to be called up.***For
A and AA Minor League Roster rules refer to the "Minor Leagues and
Rookie Draft Section"***
                      *

Disabled List

15-Day DL: Players on the 15-day disabled list can be removed from the
30-man roster, but are still a part of the 40-man roster. Once a player is
removed from the real 15-day DL, teams must activate the player within
48
4 hours if he is not eligible to stay in the minors.

60-Day DL: Any player on the 60-Day DL frees an additional spot on the
40-man roster. A team may call up a minor leaguer or sign a free agent
to replace this player. When the injured player comes off the real 60-day
DL, the team must make room and cut back to a 40-man roster within 48
hours. Players on the 60-Day DL will still use team salary. There is no
l
limit on the number of players on the 60-Day DL per club.



  Free Agency
  F
About Free Agency: There is no limit to how many free agents a team
can sign as long as there is enough money to pay the player for all future
seasons. To sign a player, you must place a bid on the player you want to
add in the forum. The minimum bid is based on contract length (see
"Contract Length/Minimum Salary Scale)". All other teams are free to
place a higher bid on that player. You can bid on free agents while your
roster is full, but you must make room once the bid is won. Players must
be
b listed in Yahoo! to be eligible for free agency.

F/A Deadline: The Trade Deadline is also the free agent deadline. At
12:00 AM EST after the deadline date, all bids will be final and awarded
t
to the last team to post a bid.
Note: DSH has an exception for the deadline. See DSH Rosters/ Free
Agent Deadline Exception.
A

Posting a Bid: When bidding, you must post the players name, team, and
position in the "Title of the topic". Post with length of contract, total of
contract, contract structure, and if you’re offering a club option.
c

Bidding on F/A's: When bidding on a posted f/a, teams are allowed to
bid a Max of 3 times per player. The original post or illegal bids do not
count as bids.
c

Bidding Equal Years: Minimum of $1M more Avg salary per season.
                   :

Adding Years: When adding years to a contract the players avg salary per
season can drop up to (but not more than) 10%.
s
Reducing Years: Teams can reduce a Max of 2 years off the current bid.
Teams can match the current total contract with less years or use the
f
following formula:
When reducing the current bid by 1 year, the players avg salary per year
m
must increase by 60%.
When reducing the current bid by 2 years, the players avg salary per year
must increase by 75%.
m

Illegal Bids: If a bid closes and the last bid is illegal, the team with the
last legal bid has the option to either take the player at the bid, or pass
   F
on the player. If the team chooses to pass, that team cannot bid on the
player for 21 days and the player becomes a free agent again.
p

Max Contracts: Max contracts are offers of a maximum length and salary
(containing no team options) to a player. If more than one team bids a
Max contract, the team with the worst record is awarded the player. In
the off-season and first 3 match-ups of a season, preference is
determined using the previous year's standings.
d

Adding a Team Option: If a team has posted a bid with no team option,
another team may bid the same contract with a team option added.
When doing so the team option's buyout will increase $500K each time
this happens.
t
Example: Team A bids 1y/$1M. Team B bids 1y/$1M w/opt. Because the
team bid the same contract and only added the option, the buyout will
be $1M (The initial $500k plus an additional $500k). If Team A bids 2y/
$1M per and Team B bids again with 2y/$1M per w/option, the buyout
will be $1.5M (The initial $500k plus an additional $1M for matching the
contract twice with team options added).
c

Winning a Bid: In order to win a bid a team must remain the highest
bidder for 24 hours. Once a bid is won the team is responsible for that
player’s contract (No exception). Teams can wait up to 72 hours if
n
needed after a bid is won to make room for the player.




  Waivers & DFA Waivers


About Waivers: Any player under contract (on the 40-man roster) may be
placed on waivers at any time. Teams must place players on waivers
when they want to release a player or option a player that has 5+ MLB
years to their minor league AAA team. While the player is on waivers, the
player will use a roster spot and the team will still pay the salary. Once a
player is placed on waivers, he must stay there for a minimum of 48
hours. The player cannot be traded during this time. If a player is put on
waivers, he can be claimed by any team.

Player is Claimed: If a team claims a player off waivers, his team may
c
choose one of the following:
arrange a trade with the new team for that player within 48 hours of the
c
claim
do nothing and allow the claiming team to assume the player's existing
c
contract
rescind the request and keep the player on their 30-man roster for 2 full
match-ups, effectively canceling the waiver
m
Note: If a player is claimed and the option to rescind is used, this option
to
t rescind may not be used again for that player in that season.

Multiple Claims: If more than one team claims a player, the team with
the worst record at that time will get preference. In the off-season and
first 3 weeks of the season, preference is determined using the previous
year's standings.
y

Player is NOT Claimed: If no team claims a player from waivers in 48
hours, the player has "cleared waivers" and may be kept on the active 30
man roster, optioned to AAA, or released outright.
m

About 5+ Players: If a 5+ year experienced player (that is not on the DL)
spends 3 full match-ups on the AAA roster, that player must clear waivers
again to remain there. The player must be posted on waivers by Friday
to clear waivers (48 hours) on the Sunday before the fourth match-up.
Teams are allowed to send 5+ players to the minors a Max of 3 times per
season. Players with 5+ years experience can only be sent to AAA 1 week
before the first match-up up until the trade deadline.
b
Trade/Waiver Rule: If a team trades a player and the player is
subsequently waived by the new team, the player's past team will not be
permitted to sign the player to a new contract (or claim him off of
waivers) until at least 21 days have passed following the date the trade
was made (or 14 days for trades that occur during the off-season).


Designated for Assignment (DFA) Waivers
D

About DFA: A player who is designated for assignment is immediately
and permanently removed from the 40-man roster and the team
continues to pay his salary. This gives the team time to decide what to
do with the player while freeing up a roster spot for another transaction,
if needed. Once a player is designated for assignment, the team has 7
days to do one of the following things:
I.post a trade
II.a team can claim the player and take over the existing contract
III.outright release
Note: if a player clears DFA waivers he cannot be
                optioned to a team's AAA team.
                o

Trading a player that is DFA: When a player has been DFA, the team has
72 hours to post a trade for the Trade Committee to approve/veto. When
a player is DFA, trades will always supersede waiver claims.

 Waiver Claimed DFA Player: While a player is DFA, all teams can post a
waiver claim. If no trade is made and a claim is posted, the claiming
team will assume the player's existing contract after 72 hours. If more
than one team claims a player, the team with the worst record at that
time will get preference. In the off-season and first 3 weeks of the
season, preference is determined using the previous year's standings.
s

NON-Claimed DFA Player: All players that have been DFA and have not
been traded or claimed by another team will be outright released.




  Releasing Players


Releasing Waived Players: If no team claims a player from waivers the
player has "cleared waivers" and the team may release him. The player's
contract still continues to be included in the team's payroll.
c

Right to Set-Off: If a team signs a player who is still under contract (as
long as the player cleared waivers and was released), the player's original
team is allowed to reduce the amount of money they still owe the player
by the right of set-off. The original team gets to set off the difference
between the player's new salary and the player’s old salary minus a 1
t
time transaction fee.
Transaction Fees:
T
DSB: S400k



  Trading
About Trades: All trades must be posted on the forum and accepted by
both owners. Owners can trade players, draft picks, and cash.
b

T
Trade Review: All trades will be reviewed and approved/vetoed by the

T

Player to be Named Later: A transaction including a player to be named
later must be completed within 60 days. The player may not be on a DSB
40-Man during the interval between the trade and the date the player is
named. As a result, players to be named later are minor leaguers. At the
time of a trade, clubs agree on a list of players from which the player to
be named will be selected. They also may agree on an amount of money
to
t be exchanged in lieu of a player or eligible draft picks.
First Round Picks: All teams must have at least one 1st round pick (any
t
teams pick) between the next 2 drafts.

  Restricted Free Agents


About Free Agents: There are two types of free agents, unrestricted and
restricted. An unrestricted free agent is free to sign with any team and
there's nothing the player's original team can do to prevent it. Restricted
free agency gives the player's original team the right to keep the player
by
b matching an offer from another team.

Restricted Free Agent Eligibility (Veterans):
                                           )

C
Completed a 3-6 year Pro contract (not including options).
S
Spent a minimum of 2 full consecutive seasons with the current team.
N
Never been listed on waivers.
Had any club options picked up.
H

Restricted Free Agent Eligibility (Drafted Rookies): After a player has
completed a rookie contract (all options offered), the player will become
a free agent.
DSB: For players to be eligible they must have completed their 6 years of
a rookie contract, offered all arbitration, and never listed on waivers.

Submitting Offers: Teams must make their eligible restricted free agents
an offer if they want matching rights. Offers must be a minimum of 2
years (not including option years), follow the contract minimum scale,
and cannot be less than 50% of the past contracts Avg salary.
a

Submitting Maximum Offers: A maximum offer is for the Max years at
the maximum salary and contains no options. If a team offers one of
their RFA’s a maximum contract the player will not see free agency and
the max contract becomes official (one of the RFA matches is still used).
Max Offers for each league:
M
DSB: 6 years/$25M per for RFA’s. 5 years/$25M per for UFA’s.

Bidding on RFA's: When a team wants to sign another teams restricted
free agent, the team must make a higher offer than the original team.
The offer must be a minimum of 3 years (not including option years).
After a bid closes on a player (24 hours), the team with the restricted
free agent has 48 hours to match the offer. If the player's original team
does not exercise its matching rights within 48 hours, the offer becomes
an
a official contract with the new team.
RFA Matches: Each team can match on the maximum amount of players
(per off-season) listed below. When matching, teams can post a re-
structure of the salary. The total contract, years, and any options must
stay the same. After a team has matched, the players cannot be released
or
o traded until after the date listed below.
DSB: 3 players - June 1

Off-Season Max Contract Priority List: If more than 1 team offers a max
contract to a RFA or UFA (and the player's original team does not match
for RFA's), the teams will refer to the "Off-Season Max Contract Priority
List". The list will be based on the past season's standings. Once a team
signs a Max contract, the team will go the bottom of the list. If a team
with matching rights matches on a RFA with a Max contract, that team
will go to the end of the list. If a team offers one of their RFA's a max
contract on the original offer sheet, the team will stay at their position
on the priority list.
Minor Leagues and Rookie Draft - DSB
                                   D




Minor League Roster (AA and Single A Team)

About Minor Leaguers: Each team has an optional minor league roster.
Drafted minor leaguers will not count against a team's salary cap until
they are called up. All contracts will start once the minor leaguer is
activated to the 40-man roster. Players have to be affiliated and under
contract with a MLB team or listed in Yahoo to be eligible to be on your
minor league team. Drafting players is the only way a player can be
issued a non-guaranteed rookie contract.
i

When to Activate (Single A): Once a player reaches 130 AB’s or 50 IP
(career stats) and are on their real life MLB 40-man roster, they are no
longer eligible to be in single A. If any player reaches the AB/IP limit and
is not on the real life MLB 40-man (must have 4 or less MLB years), he
does not have to be promoted to AA or a team's 40-man. Once a player is
no longer minor league eligible, teams have 72 hours to add him to their
40-man roster or drop him outright. Teams will be fined or lose the
player (the team’s choice) if they do not activate him within 72 hours.
p

AA Team Eligibility: 0-2 years MLB experience (1 game is considered 1
year)or 3 years MLB exp with less than 250AB or 80IP (career stats)
y

Cutting Drafted Minor Leaguers: Teams can release drafted minor
league players at no cost if (1) the player’s contract is non-guaranteed,
and (2) the player was never on your 40-man roster. If the player was on
the 40-Man at one point in the season, the team must pay that seasons
contract. If a team cuts a drafted minor leaguer they cannot draft that
player in the next season's rookie draft.
p

Signing Minor Leaguers in F/A: Teams cannot have more than 2
undrafted players inAA and/or Single A at any given time. Players signed
to
t major league contracts will start to use team salary immediately.

Sent Back to the Minors: If a player is called up to a team’s 40-man and
sent back to the minor league team (he still has to be eligible), the
p
player’s contract will still count toward the team's salary for that season.

6-Year Minor Leaguers: Any player with 6 seasons in the minors is
considered a 6-Year Minor League Free-Agent. The original team will
h
have no rights to the player anymore.


Contracts for a Minor League Call-Up

Drafted Minor League Contract: Once a drafted minor leaguer is
activated to a team’s 40-man roster, he will be given the following NON-
G
Guaranteed contract.

a
acquire the player in any way for 1 full season.

  • 8. About Free Agency: There is no limit to how many free agents a team can sign as long as there is enough money to pay the player for all future seasons. To sign a player, you must place a bid on the player you want to add in the forum. The minimum bid is based on contract length (see "Contract Length/Minimum Salary Scale)". All other teams are free to place a higher bid on that player. You can bid on free agents while your roster is full, but you must make room once the bid is won. Players must be b listed in Yahoo! to be eligible for free agency. F/A Deadline: The Trade Deadline is also the free agent deadline. At 12:00 AM EST after the deadline date, all bids will be final and awarded t to the last team to post a bid. Note: DSH has an exception for the deadline.

When reducing the current bid by 2 years, the players avg salary per year must increase by 75%. m Illegal Bids: If a bid closes and the last bid is illegal, the team with the last legal bid has the option to either take the player at the bid, or pass F on the player. If the team chooses to pass, that team cannot bid on the player for 21 days and the player becomes a free agent again. p Max Contracts: Max contracts are offers of a maximum length and salary

In the off-season and first 3 match-ups of a season, preference is determined using the previous year's standings. d Adding a Team Option: If a team has posted a bid with no team option, another team may bid the same contract with a team option added. When doing so the team option's buyout will increase $500K each time this happens. t Example: Team A bids 1y/$1M. Team B bids 1y/$1M w/opt. Because the team bid the same contract and only added the option, the buyout will be $1M (The initial $500k plus an additional $500k). If Team A bids 2y/ $1M per and Team B bids again with 2y/$1M per w/option, the buyout will be $1.5M (The initial $500k plus an additional $1M for matching the contract twice with team options added). c Winning a Bid: In order to win a bid a team must remain the highest bidder for 24 hours.
