It's highly irregular and dumb to allow teams to bid on players they've bought out.

Agreed

Just playing within the rules fellas. Personally, I voted against allowing present owners being allowed to buyout. I haven't seen anything thus far restricting owners bidding on players they had bought out.

Yep, no hard feelings, just a loophole that should be closed.

im with chris on this one.  where is the spirit of the rule?  we can't expect these guys to draft a 5,000 page document to avoid every little angle or loophole.  just my opinion. 

anyway, I have a question re FA contracts: i thought "PC+$50k" contracts were only for prospects.  maybe i am mistaken here, but want to be sure any new bids i put in are correct, since i see some vets being opened up with "PC+$50k".  thanks.

also, are we still on a "6 leading bid" max?

thanks,

PC just essentially means a minor league contract. Therefore, they are for anyone that you do not want on your 40 man roster or not pay a 400k major league minimum contract. For Vets that are at 6 years experience, the contract is only for 1 year, whereas prospects can be held in the minors as long as you want.

And yes, we are sticking to the 6 leading bids.

Does the free agency process stay the same once the season starts?  Still have to post bid or does it become a free for all of sorts based on waiver wire order?

I believe it's open as is until the end of the World Series.
