GMs,
Let’s begin by offering our congratulations to the :LAA: and GM Jason S. (game162) as our 2019 FGM World Series Champions! They had a worthy opponent in the :PHI:, but as we have all experienced throughout our fantasy careers, there are times when a team peaks and no matter what we do, there is no remedy for untimely slumps. That said, I’m not sure anyone could have withstood the Halos’ barrage because they were awesome!
Now that we have completed World Series play, I wanted to point out a few things you should be aware of:
1). This is the final week to extend any player on a 2019 contract. There are still a few teams which have some players on expiring contracts—and those players are posted on the Transactions Board and you can post those extensions until 11:59 pm on Sunday, 9/29/19;
2). I have taken the liberty to update all the ProFSL rosters. I removed all players on expiring contracts and updated the 2021 salary caps. Remember that caps are calculated on a three year swing and they are a reflection of your competitive standing.
3). I have updated the Extension Value Scale for 2020 based on the 2019 ending salaries. The 2019 scale, for those still extending 2019 contracts, is also a separate post on the Transactions Board.
4). If you’re planning to participate in the FYPD, you might want to review your rosters to create room for your draftees. Remember, you are not obligated to participate in the FYPD.
We’re still looking for GMs for the :NYM: and :WAS:.
Otherwise, here’s a summary of things to know:
9/30/2019 (12:01A)- Off-season begins.
1.) Unsigned Players Become FA
2.) Cap Hits Raised From 75/50/25 Percent to 90/60/30 Percent
3.) MLB contract extensions count toward 2020 and beyond
4.) Re-Sign Values for Contract Extensions Updated
5.) 2021 Salary Caps Posted
6.) FYPD begins on 11/1/19
7.) (P-2019) player extensions deadline is 12/31/19
