Going Over The Cap

[Marlins GM (Kevin)]

I dont think we should allow people to go over the cap period whether it be a signing or a trade. I have seen people lately do both and I think going over the cap is against the rules and teams should be fined and the FA goes back into the pool or the trade is vetoed. This is also because guys that are new took on teams that were way over and there were a few of those. I am not trying to call anyone in particular out, it just seems to be occuring more than it should. Someone going over is just their advantage and I dont think they should get or have that.

Owners are not allowed to go over cap while bidding on FA. As read in the league rules.
-Marlins, you are the moderator for FA, take care of any cap infractions you see.

Ok well it was an example and it was done once but that person didnt win so it doesnt matter. But trades need to be vetoed and it shouldnt be allowed period not just on FA.

[Tigers GM (Alex)]

Going over cap in trades is fine as long as it's not something ridiculous like 20-30M over. If a team is not under cap by the time the season starts, they will be awarded automatic losses until they get under the cap. This was decided last offseason.

[Marlins GM (Kevin)]

I dont remember but ok. I was just making a statement because once you let one person go over they stay over most of the time until you get a new owner and what is too high over. I think 7 is too high.

i think that if you go over cap via trade you should have no more than 2 weeks to get back under (id prefer just 1)
