MLB Effects

[ProFSL]

Fantasy Baseball
Your player's stats come from what they actually do on a major league field.  Your role is General Manager, and your control over whether players start or not is dependent upon what happens in MLB.

MLB League Expansion, Contraction
In the event the fantasy league adds one or more franchise due to MLB expansion, an auction will take place for all new teams.  Each team must option at least one player with contract value at least as great as x% of the team payroll, where x = 1 over the # of teams in the league after expansion.  Also, each team must auction off as much of their team in addition to that.  The total market value of players made available in the auction draft must be at least 1-y/x% where y is original league size and x is new league size.   Players, when taken by an expansion team, are treated as new UFA.  Their previous contracts are null and void.

In the event of contraction, all players' contracts are null and void and they immediately become UFA.
