Team Finances
- 2014 Salary Cap: 100M
- 2015 Salary Cap: 105M
- If a team goes over the salary cap during the season, he will be warned, and must get under within 72 hours to avoid penalties. (Fines, or forfeiting games, or both.)
- - You are allowed to be over the cap in the offseason (15M Max). However, you must be under by the 1st game of the season, or face the above penalties.
- No team will be allowed to have more than 50M incoming, or 50M outgoing in any season.
- No cap may be traded, only money on players contracts.
- Money can be traded for the current season, and 1 season in advanced.
- No team may make any trade/claim that puts their team more than 15M over the salary cap at any time. (Projected ARB salaries will count towards your total.)
Free Agency:
- The max years a free agent can sign is 5 years. A player can sign any contract 1-5 years, unless that player is 35 or older. If a player is 35 or older, the max contract he can sign is a 2 year contract.
- The minimum starting bid is 0.5M
- The minimum bid increase is 0.1M
- Free Agent Signings can not be traded/released until May 1st.
- A bid must stand for 24 hours to sign that player.
- You may not edit or delete any bids you make. If you need to make a change, make a new post.
- You may go over the cap to sign a free agent. However, you may only go over the cap by 5M. (Projected ARB salaries will count towards your total)
- To win a player, you must offer the most amount of money. For example:
Team A offers: 1 year 10M a year = 10M total
Team B offers: 4 year 2M a year = 8M total
Team A would win the bidding due to the total money.
- International Free Agents who sign Major League contracts, will be eligible for free agency here.
Contracts:
- We will average out our salaries for players. For example:
Nick Markakis - 14:$15M, 15:$17.5M option
15 + 17.5 = 32.5M
32.5 / 2 = 16.25
Nick Markakis's contract would be : [16.25M 2014+]
The "+" indicates an option year.
- We will ignore all buyout's in players contracts. Any vesting or player options will be converted to team options
- If a player was apart of the original league rosters, and he is still on his original contract from the start of the league, and that player retires, you will be off the hook completely. However, if a player retires that was a free agent signing, or had a contract extension accepted in here, you will not be off the hook, and you will be subject to the standard drop fees.
Arbitration:
- All players will be subject to the standard 6 years of team control. 3 years of Pre-Arb, and 3 years of Arb. (Unless the player becomes a super 2, 2 years of Pre-Arb, 4 years of Arb.)
- For players that are currently pre-arbitration eligible, there contracts will be 500,000, (0.5M). As long as a player is Pre-Arb in real life, he is Pre-Arb here. Any player who has not surpassed 50 IP, or 150 AB in a single season, will not have there salary triggered, unless you have them on your MLB roster. If you have them on your roster, they will be the standard (500,000) for Pre-arbitration eligible players. This is mostly for prospects who get a cup of coffee in the bigs. You wont owe them until the marks are past.
- For players that are going through Arbitration, you will get what they earn on a year to year basis in real life. You have the option to accept or decline his salary figure. By declining, he will be placed on the waiver wire for 72 hours, the worst record will receive the player. If he goes unclaimed, he will enter the free agency. Declining arbitration comes at no cost to you, it is free of any obligations.
- If a player signs an extension during his Pre-Arb, or Arb years, you will have the option to take the extension, or that player will enter Free Agency in the offseason if you do not take it. You may choose to take the yearly breakdown for the contract, or take the AAS.
- If a player ends his arbitration eligibility and has no contract in place to pick up or options, he will become a free agent. However, you will receive a discount on that player in free agency. Also, that player will have until 1/1 in the offseason for him to sign a contract in real life. If he does sign a contract before that date, you will have the option to pick it up, or decline it and send him to Free Agency without a discount.
- Veterans who expire will not have an option to pick up a contract in real life at seasons end. Only Arbitration eligible players will be eligible to wait until January 1st for a new deal.
- If any arbitration eligible player is non-tendered in real life, or outrighted off a teams 40 man roster, he will automatically be assigned a 500,000 (0.5M) salary for the upcoming season.
Discounts Policy
If a player is owned for more than an entire (1+) season : 20% discount off final free agency price
If a player is owned for the entire (1) season : 15% Discount
If a player is owned for less than an entire seasons : 10% discount
- YOU HAVE TO WIN THE BIDDING IN ORDER TO RETAIN THAT PLAYER AND GET THE DISCOUNT.
For Example:
I owned John Doe for one entire season, so I would get a 15% discount.
I win the bidding for John Doe @ 3 years, 10M per year
After the 15% discount, he would be mine at 3 years at 8.5M a year. The math: (10 x .15 = 1.5) (10 - 1.5 = 8.5M)

- 2015 Salary Cap: 105M
