Does that mean that the only option available for small market teams is to either re-sign or lose the player with the expiring contract? Are we completely eliminating the sign and trade option for all teams regardless of market size?
However, in MLB you can extend a players contract without having the higher salary hit the current season's books - something we can't do.
I think Ben is on to something here...This has been a very progressive post. I think we may need to break it up into several parts. 1. Sign and Trade - Yay or Nay2. RFA - keep or remove, making players strictly Type A or B from the jump off (plus I think this system needs a little reworking, but more on that later. - Also keep in mind, this may change after the next MLB CBA, so we are going to have to be fluid on this. 3. Resigning a player, and having the salary hit the following year. If we can do this, I think this is a fantastic idea.
