Cannot be processed. Salary cap would be surpassed.
The rule and procedure to be followed:
Sub-Section 5- Non-Compliance Penalties
Item AX B(5) 1.0
Upon winning a bid that sets a team over the cap, the GM is granted 24 hours to post the transactions that will make the cap work (either a trade or releasing players). If the transactions are not valid or not posted within 24 hours of the bids being finalized, that team no longer receives the player. If this is a first time offense, the GM is given a warning. For all subsequent offenses, the team is penalized a 10% cap penalty for the current season.
Item AX B(5) 2.0
After such a failed bid, the player is offered to the 2nd highest bidder as outlined in Item AX B(1)-4.0 (Adopted 4/7/15). If the 2nd highest bidder does not want to sign the player, he is returned to the free agent pool. The offending team can no longer bid on that player, even if they clear up the cap space to do so.
Guardians have until 5:51 PM Monday 5/11/26 to resolve this issue. All subsequent bids currently on the board in which the Guardians may win will not be processed until this bid is complete
