Releasing a Player
- You may release any player, at any time.
- You will owe 75% of that players salary for that season when you release him, and will owe 50% throughout the rest deal.
- You must follow the correct format when releasing a player. You must post the players name in the title, and how much is owed throughout the life of the deal. For Example:
"Orioles Release OF Luis Matos [1M 2015] - Owe 0.75M for 2013, 0.5M for 2014 and 2015"
- When releasing an arbitration, or pre-arbitration player, you will owe 75% of that players salary for the current season, but will be off the hook after the current season.
- Pre-arbitration and arbitration players may be released for free in the offseason, the rule above only applies in-season.
- When a pre-arbitration, or arbitration player is waived, all teams will have a 3 day (72 hour window from the post) window to make a claim on the player. After the 3 days, the claiming team with the worst record will be awarded that player.
- If a player goes unclaimed through the 72 hour window, he will enter free agency and be free to be bid on.
Claiming a Player
- You may claim any un-owned player at any time.
- The un-owned player must have big league experience. (A day of service time, or an appearance). (Veterans can't be claimed, the player must be going through the Pre-Arb/Arbitration process.) Veterans have to be bid on in free agency if un-owned.
- You may NOT claim prospects. Un-owned prospects are eligible for our first year player draft. The same applies for International free agents.
- If a player does not have an appearance, or a day of service time, and he is being promoted to the big league team, you may claim this player. However, you will need to post proof that he has been called up. (Multiple Sources). If for some reason the player does not get called up, and was claimed, the player will be removed from that team and the player will still be un-owned until he gets promoted.
- When you claim a player, he will automatically recieve a salary of (500,000) for the season, and you will inherit his contract status. For example: If Orioles 1B Chris Davis was unowned, he would be 500,000 for the claming season, and he would be ARB in 2015. You look at the players contract status in real life.
- You may not make a claim on a player if it puts you over the cap during the season, or 5M over the cap, in the offseason.
- This is a first come, first serve claiming system. You will be awarded the player immediately upon posting, assuming your claim is valid.
- You may not claim any player while the draft is in progress.
- You may release any player, at any time.
