Guardians GM (Nate): All FYPD picks should now be added to Fantrax.  Please let us know if you see any errors. 2024-12-08, 13:20:12

Rays GM (Norm): Once an owner wins a bid on a player contract, his real contract is irrelevant.  2024-12-09, 00:14:58

Phillies GM (John): how did guys like Soto or Wheeler end up on the player list on fantrax? No one owns them now? 2024-12-09, 11:13:49

PadresGM (Gene): My understanding is that thye HOFBL teams that own such players have until 12/31 to extend or make a QO. 2024-12-09, 14:45:57

Giants GM (Zach): Yeah probably won't know who actually is a FA until January. 2024-12-09, 15:16:38

Guardians GM (Nate): Players on expiring contracts were dropped in Fantrax but they can be offered a team extension (1 per team at a time) or tagged with a QO.    2024-12-09, 16:08:56

Rays GM (Norm): No. There has been and will be no new signings until Free Agency bidding starts in February. Check the schedule here: https://hofbl.com/index.php?topic=1601.0 2024-12-09, 19:58:17

Rays GM (Norm): What you may be seeing is that players who were signed last spring/summer but not originally available on Fantrax are now available. So we are completing the process of adding them to the Fantrax rosters. 2024-12-09, 20:23:43

PadresGM (Gene): Correct me of need be, but to clarify, the players seen being added are minor leaguers/2024 MLB Amat Draft picks taken by hofbl teams earlier in 2024 and not MLB level players. 2024-12-09, 22:29:33

Guardians GM (Nate): That's correct.  We are just adding players previously drafted or signed in IFA that have become available in Fantrax now.  2024-12-10, 00:25:52

Tigers GM (Drew): Haven't been on the message board for a bit, so sorry if I missed this.  Are all the ARB and preARB salaries updates on our rosters?  I want to make sure I have current info as I start making roster decisions before 12/31 deadline 2024-12-12, 11:12:26

Guardians GM (Nate): Yes, ARB and PreArb salaries should be updated and current now. 2024-12-12, 21:11:12

Guardians GM (Nate): Reminder:  Roster decisions and Fantrax  fees due by December 31st 2024-12-14, 21:37:57

Phillies GM (John): Hope everyone enjoys the upcoming holidays ! 2024-12-22, 11:29:52

Guardians GM (Nate): Happy Holidays everyone. 2024-12-22, 22:28:15

Rules and Announcements / 2025 HOFBL Offseason
Last post by Guardians GM (Nate) - Nov 02, 2024, 08:15 AM
The 2024 HOFBL and MLB season have concluded.  Congratulations again to the :CIN: on winning the 2024 HOFBL title.

We are now entering the 2025 offseason.  Below is some important information you'll need to know for the upcoming offseason:  

- Trading is now open.

- ARB contracts will start to be updated after November 22nd.  After 11/22, we will  use the current salaries on Spotrac for HOFBL ARB 2025 contracts (Estimated or signed amounts).

- A 2025 Check In thread has been created.  Please take a minute to confirm you will be returning (or not) for 2025.  The Check In thread is here: https://hofbl.com/index.php?topic=1602

- The 2025 League Schedule has been posted.  It is here: https://hofbl.com/index.php?topic=1601.0

- Roster decisions (PreArb, ARB, Team Extension, Qualifying Offers) are due by December 31st. Please post your rosters decisions here: https://hofbl.com/index.php?board=60.0

- Here is the list of Expired contracts: https://hofbl.com/index.php?topic=1582.0

- Here are the Team Extension values for this offseason:  https://hofbl.com/index.php?topic=1583.0

I will be working to add the rest of FYPD draft picks and IFA players to rosters as Fantrax adds them to the database.  The hope is to have all drafted and IFA signed players added to rosters by December 31st (with Fantrax's cooperation).

It was a great first season.  I'm looking forward to 2025.  Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Looks like the only discrepancy we have is with Shane Baz who likely accrued service time while on the DL instead of when he crossed the threshold.
