New Rule Proposal

Most if the ideas are based on a certain timeline. Keep up the ideas and I hope to come up with a poll. Busy at work right now.

Please define new cause I would sure consider myself new.

These are all the issues that will arise and unfortunately there will people that don't agree.  This is the worst part of being the commish as basically you can never make everyone happy but I will come up with a poll and we can vote on it and move forward from that point.

Stay tuned.

I understand that but seeing as how my franchise was ignored for a full season and I had 3 contracts that I think would've fallen under consideration for such a move, being able to do that with one of them would make sense.

I'm down for this. RICK ANKIRL for how many millions over 5 years?  Also, ubaldo?  Really.

I like the idea of amnestying 1 player for new owners, but agree with what someone said about the 50% buy-out in that the new owner would still be paying for the previous owners mistake by paying half the salary and not getting anything in return while someone else will probably grab that player as a free agent at or around the same price of the owner who had to drop him.

100% amnesty on one-contract would give the new owner a chance to get that player back, if they wanted too.

On the 2nd topic: I would define a "new owner" as one who took over a team before the new season begins.

I also loved the idea of a set time period to allow for extensions.
