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)

Some teams were confused on when the waiver/buyout deadline was for this season.  I noticed I didn't include dates in the league schedule or in the rules for buyouts.  Due to this confusion, we will allow teams to subject players to waivers (for buyouts only) beginning Tuesday October 1st at 8:00am through Sunday October 6th at 8:00pm.   This will be a one time extension.  Moving forward the waiver (cap hits and buyouts) deadline will be the last day of the regular season.   

Please only post guaranteed contracts beyond 2024 (2025 + ) that you intend to buyout.  Regular cap hit releases can wait until 2025 transactions open.  Also, there is no need to post any PreA or Arb contracts for buyout, those are year to year decisions that each GM will make during the roster decision process.  

As a reminder, you must have the cap space in 2024 to buyout a player during this extension period. 

Let me know if you have any questions.
