Good morning,

Currently, I am closing all transactions for posting players to be claimed. Transactions will remain closed for the rest of this season until all pending free agents have been extended and next season's free agency begins. You may post any drops that you wish to make from your rosters. I will send an additional email as to what comes next. You may still trade players as that is open.

Thanks,
Jon

Hello everyone,

Here is an invite to our Discord messenger.   Our leauge is #field-of-dreams.   You can discuss trades and find additional leagues on the board.

League Conduct

It is the expectation that no member will use any foul language or bully any member of the league in any manner.   If any member is found to be hostile, aggressive, demeaning in any way that member will be subject to expulsion from the league.   

We also expect that all members will be active within the league.   This includes but not limited to setting daily lineups, being active during Rookie draft, being active during free agency peak periods.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the league commissioner, Jon and I will be happy to help you.

Teams will receive a hometown on players that are in final year of contracts during the extension process.

If teams are also bidding on free agents that play for the team you manage then you will receive a discount on the winning bid.

The discount will be 20 percent.

Example:  I am Braves manager.  There is a free agent in the Braves organization that I win the bid on.   I will receive 20% discount off the winning bid.  So if the winning bid is 16m then I actually get the player for 13.8m.

No player can make less than the league minimum of .500k mlb contract.   So if the winning bid is 600k I can get a discount because that would be under .500k.   If you win a hometown discount bid on a .600k bid then you would get the .500k limit.  Just understand that every mlb contract has to be a minimum.500k
