RFAs not Bid on

[rcankosy]

Can I place a bid on one of my RFAs if no one else does? 

[clidwin]

yes i had too!

[rcankosy]

What is the ruling?  Can I place a bid on my own RFAs?

[clidwin]

Yes that would be the only way you can get that player on your team for this season! bid 0.5m then if nowbody bids after you then you get him for that price.

Chad is corrct... but Roy this may apply to you if you plan on going after Kevin Millwood
"You may not bid on a player that you have released for a period of 30 days.  If you resign a player, their original contract is restored."

So what happens if no one bids on an RFA?  Does the controlling team get to retain the player at a minimum salary contract?  Are they lost to FA?  Again, I'm not sure we have a rule in place for this...

[Dan Wood]

If no one bids, not even the controlling team, then he becomes a FA. Otherwise the controlling team would have been on him. IMHO

Yea its what Dan said if knowbody bids on that player then you lose the RFA tag on that player and he becomes a FA. Thats why I placed a bid on Carlos Villaueva. So I can jump start his bidding. But that should be in the Rules-
