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

If you have a -OPT contract on your roster, examples for this year will be 2025-OPT, this will be an option each HOFBL GM will decide on their roster decisions. 

Initially we were going to go with the MLB decision (meaning if it was a team option and the MLB team accepted it, it would be accepted in HOFBL).  That's not working out with teams releasing players ahead of these options.   The best way to handle this moving forward is to make these options a HOFBL GM option decision.   

If you have a -OPT contract on your roster you will have the choice to accept or decline it at the current AAV value on Fantrax.  It won't matter if it's accepted in real life MLB at a lower or higher amount, the HOFBL GM is making the decision in the option year based on the listed HOFBL AAV value. 

This is only for -OPT contract, not ARB contracts.  PreARb and ARB contracts will be a yearly decision to tender (accept) on non tender (decline) based on the determined amounts each year. 

Also, these option contracts will eventually go away as HOFBL GMs cannot add options in free agency.

I apologize for the confusion on this and hope this clears up any issues and makes roster decisions easier.
