FGM Free Agency continues. There has been a lot of activity and your prompt attention to contract requests is much appreciated.
Here's a reminder of the rules governing Type A free agents:
1: Continue one draft pick compensation for Type A free agents;
2: There shall no longer be any protection of 1st Round Picks for the top ten teams in the draft (since they are losing a later round pick);
3: Draft compensation would be a 3rd Round pick--which would be taken in the same spot as the team who signed the free agent would normally have.
4: Compensation would be tied to a player who has been on a team the entire season.
5: If a Type A free agent is signed to a contract of $52.0m, or more, then the team signing that player will give up their 2nd and 5th Round picks to the player's former team. Here is where you can find the other Type A free agents that are on the market:

With that, with some new GMs in the league, and as a reminder to all involved, in order to qualify for a prospect contract, a player must be under the following rookie threshold:
Any free agent is entitled to a (P-n/a) contract if during a previous season or seasons, he has (a) played in 50 games (position player) or (b) accumulated 40 IP (pitcher) in the Major Leagues.As usual, if you have any questions, send me a PM and I will respond as soon as I can.
