Hello All,
We will begin free agency with hitters on Monday December 14th opening up at noon. Pitchers will then open up on Monday December 28th at noon.
Here is the current Free Agent list
As a reminder here are the bidding rules:
Bidding System
Contract years add value based on the following: $1M = 1 point
1 Year = 1X multiplier - 1 Year @ $5 mil = 5 X 1 = 5 pts
2 Year = 1.2X multiplier - 2 Years @ $5 mil = 5 X 1.20 = 6 pts
3 Year = 1.4X multiplier - 3 Years @ $5 mil = 5 X 1.40 = 7 pts
4 Year = 1.6X multiplier - 4 Years @ $5 mil = 5 X 1.60 = 8 pts
5 Year = 1.8X multiplier - 5 Years @ $5 mil = 5 X 1.80 = 9 pts
Remember, the per-year salary over the life of the contract remains constant for ODC-signed players. In other words, no front-loading or back-loading.
You are not allowed to bid more money than you have available to use. If a team has $30M available, it cannot have a winning bid of $25M on 1 player, $4M on another, and $3M on another (total: $32M) all at the same time.
You must place your current outstanding bids and your remaining cap with every bid for it to be valid. Noncompliance will result in an invalid bid.
You may NOT edit a bid outside of adding/correcting cash or points calculations no more than 5 minutes. You may NOT delete a bid. Editing a bid to invalidate it or deleting a valid bid will result in some currently undetermined but extremely harsh punishment. It probably will depend on how much we like you at this second, which I'm guessing isn't very much.
FA Contract Length (at the start of FA)
The maximum length of a FA offer is determined by their age at the start of free agency. This prevents signing a 39 y/o to a 5 year deal just to win that player.
Example: a 35 y/o or younger player can get a max 5 year deal.
Example: a 36 y/o player can only get a max of 4 years.
Example: a 37 y/o player can only get a max of 3 years.
Example: a 38 y/o player can only get a max of 2 years.
Example: a 39 y/o player can only get a max of 1 year.
Example: over 40 y/o can only get a 1 year max deal.
You will receive a hometown discount depending on how long you have owned the player. To count as a season, you must have owned the player since Opening Day of that season.
Less than one season: 5%
1-2 seasons: 10%
3-4 seasons: 15%
5+ seasons: 20%
The minimum allowed salary per year is $0.5M and bidding in $100K increments.
Sign-and-Trades
You will be allowed to trade free agents in the first 48 hours after winning the player AS LONG AS BOTH TEAMS REMAIN BELOW THE CAP. After that time has passed, signed FA cannot be traded until May 1st of the year of acquisition. This only applies to off-season acquired Free Agents.

Thank you.
