First of all, congratulations go out to all of you for a successful season. We have many good GMs who have been actively competing in the league. That said there are a couple of teams that need replacement GMs. Before I start trying to recruit, I want to have a check-in to see if all GMs are committed for the offseason and 2024. Please post on this thread to confirm you are planning on continuing. At this time, I am in need for replacements in :NYY: & :SF:. If anyone here knows of anyone who would be interested in a team in our league, please have them reach out to me or post on the Official Sign-up thread. I have done some research and most of our GMs are either GMs that have been with the league for a long time or have come over from elsewhere on the site. With some exceptions, recruiting from boards is less effective.
I wish to thank Paul S & dbreer for their excellent work in keeping transactions moving all season. This league could not operate without the help of volunteers to assist with these functions. dbreer has asked to step down from this role now that the season has ended as he has taken on other commitments with leagues at the site. Thank you both again so much! If there is anyone who would like to assist, it would be much appreciated. It has been a great help to be able to focus on the other aspects of the league knowing that the transactions are in good hands.
Some end of season reminders:
8/14/2023 - Free Agency Ends at 12 PM EST (no more opening of bids)
8/14/2023 - Last week of the Regular Season
9/24/2023 - 10/1/2023 - League wide Review of Rosters
10/2/2023 (12:01A ET)- Off-season begins.
- Unsigned Players Become FA (Includes (P-2023) Players)
- Cap Hits Raised From 75/50/25 Percent to 90/60/30 Percent
- MLB contract extensions count toward 2024 and beyond
- Re-Sign Values for Contract Extensions Updated
- League Sheet (ProFSL Rosters) rolled over to 2024
- Deadline for players on 60 Day IL to be returned to active roster or be released
Please note the deadline has changed from previous seasons for the offseason items. The deadline for this season is the final day of the MLB season rather than a week after as in the past. Please ensure all of your roster decisions have been made regarding extensions, etc. by Oct 1.
Finally, I am posting a rule change proposition. A few years ago, the rules committee was dropped in favor of allowing all to vote on rules change proposals. However, I do not see anywhere that this was a decision made by the league or the rules committee and with the difficulty in getting 15 people to vote on rules changes last season for simple things like following the MLB schedule, I would like to propose to reinstitute the Rules Committee. I will be posting this proposal today. Also, a reminder that anyone can make rules proposals. If there are changes that anyone would like to propose, this would be a good time.
Thank you again and good luck to all of those in the playoffs!
