Free Agency
* Free Agency will begin Monday at 12:00 AM EST.
A player not listed on any franchise’s 50-Man Roster will be declared a free agent. A free agent can be any professional baseball player, major league or minor league that has already signed a real-life professional MLB contract, which includes contracts with MLB team affiliates (minor league teams).
When you decide there is a player you wish to add to your 50-Man Roster from free agency, you will need to sign that player to a contract. The league’s minimum salary requirement is $300,000 per year. The longest you may sign a player to contract at the league minimum is two years. The longest you can sign a player to a contract with an average annual salary of less than $500,000 per year is three years (more than $300,000 per year and less than $500,000 per year). The longest you can offer ANY contract is 7 years.
In order to win a player, no bid must have beaten out the highest bid within 24 hours. 24 hours must pass without a bid beating out one's bid in order to win said player. There will be $100k increments for $5M or less bids, $250k from $5M-$10M bids, and then $500k for $10M or more bids.
***Be Careful: Be careful on having too many high bids at the same time.. You may not go over cap to sign players. Penalties will be given to those who do.[/b][/size]
Position by Position Schedule:
Week 1: Catchers, and First Basemen
Week 2: Middle Infielders, and Third Basemen
Week 3: Outfielders
Week 4: Starting Pitchers
Week 5: Relief Pitchers
All DH's will go under their position they played most in 2010.
Example, David Ortiz (1B)
*Lets try to stay away from excessive long and expensive contract offers.. they don't usually work out well.
