Hey y'all,
Here are some new salary cap rules that are being instituted this offseason. Some you already know, and some are new:
1) The salary cap will be increased to $105M following the World Series.
2) In the offseason, there will be a hard cap of $120M, which teams will not be allowed to go over under any circumstances. If your team is over this mark at the start of the offseason you will only be allowed to make trades where you cut salary until you're under $120M.
3) Teams will not be allowed to sign FAs if it will put them over the $105M cap.
4) Teams ARE allowed to make trades and take on obligations that put them over the $105M cap.
5) If your team is still over the $105M cap at the start of the season, you will enter the escalating penalty ladder until you're under the cap. The penalties will be as follows...
Over the cap for Week 1: Loss of both Rule V draft picks
Week 2: Loss of the right to sign FAs the following offseason
Week 3: Loss of all draft picks in rounds 3-5
Week 4: Loss of all draft picks in rounds 1-2
Week 5: Banned from league.
6) Additionally, if your team is over the cap at the start of the season you will lose the right to the $120M hard cap the following offseason, and will be confined to an $105M hard cap.
Let us know if you have any questions.
