Hello All,
Thank you for posting your comments to the Future 2023 Rule Changes thread and voicing your opinions and concerns. After lengthy discussions and your feedback we've decided to implement the below rules for 2023.
We decided to hold off on the Franchise Boost. We can look to pickup that discussion in the offseason to determine if we would want to implement that after 2023.
1. Expanded Playoffs
We'll expand playoffs to 12 teams, just like the MLB did. We'll now have 3 wild card spots.
2. Season Long Weekly Minimums
Weekly AB/IP minimums of 75 AB and 15 IP will be implemented until a week before the trade deadline, then they will drop to 50 AB and 10 IP for the remainder of the regular season. Missing the weekly minimums will result in the below penalties:
Before the Trade Deadline
You will be fined $7M for not hitting the AB minimum and or $7M the following year for not hitting the IP minimum of 75 AB and 15 IP.
After the Trade Deadline
You will be fined $4M for not hitting the AB minimum and or $4M the following year for not hitting the IP minimum of 50 AB and 10 IP.
3. Waiver Wire Eligibility
Eligible waiver wire players need to accrue 1PA/.1IP minimum in their MLB career to be claimed. This will allow more teams to acquire players to meet the season long minimum requirement and with the current irrevocable waivers and in-season scale player penalty for cutting them, it makes sense.
4. Draft Lottery Change
To determine the first 8 draft slots for each round, we will now use a draft lottery for the eight teams. We'll take the worst four teams and the first four non-playoff teams and put them in a lottery for the first eight draft slots. The remaining 22 teams will go from worst to best. ,
Thank you.
