I just checked Kazmir's contract. It was 12M for 2011 and 2.5M buyout for the 2012 option (this information is available in the Commissioner's Office section of this forum). We are starting with 2012 so the 12M does not factor into this league. It was also noted that we would not be taking into consideration any option years so the 2.5M would not have been paid in this league because Kazmir would already be a free agent for 2012.

Once I get the rest of the salaries entered into the spreadsheet, any possible confusion should be eliminated.

If anything in the league constitution is unclear, please do ask. I've been trying to get comments from everyone since the league started.

Let me know.

Thanks

Feel free to make trades if you need to. Our amateur draft will begin on 8/20.

Trades

Subject
The subject should state all teams that are involved in the trade.

EXAMPLE: Trade Between the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers and the Seattle Mariners

Body
The body of the post should list out which organization is receiving which players, cash, and/or draft picks. If the trade involves more than two organizations, please list out for each team which players they are receiving and which players they are trading away.

Each GM involved needs to post a reply confirming the trade they agreed to is what’s stated in the thread. They also need to state the reasoning behind the trade for your organization; if you were the GM and on your local sports talk show giving an interview, what would you say? This will help the trade committee understand why the trade should be approved, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the players involved.


Waiver Posting

The body should list the team waiving the player and the player being waived.

Body

Waiver Claims
Waiver claims are to be posted as replies to the thread started by the GM waiving the player.
