Phillies GM (John): I see a lot of guys on the player list on fantrax as FA who happen to be Fa in real life 2024-12-08, 12:25:48

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 ! Today at 11:29:52

This is a friendly reminder that the Fantrax IR spots are only supposed to be used for the 60 Day IL designation.  We also ask that when placing a player on the 60 Day IL you post it in the 60 Day IL forum, which is here: https://hofbl.com/index.php?board=70.0

Players on the 7, 10 and 15 day IL should NOT be placed on the Fantrax IR.  This is because HOFBL was setup to mimic MLB as much as possible and in MLB players on the 7, 10 and 15 Day IL still count towards a teams 40 man roster.   Only the 60 Day IL removes a player from the 40 man roster freeing up a space.  When you place a player on the Fantrax IR it frees up a space on your 40 man roster.  As a reminder your 40 man consists of your 19 starters and your 21 reserve spots. 

Unfortunately, Fantrax will let you place players on the IR that are not just 60 Day IL.  From what I see there isn't an option I can select to only allow 60 Day IL to be placed there so we will need to use the honor system.  

A number GMs had players on the IR that weren't on the 60 Day IL.  I moved them back to the 40 man roster for most that had space.  For those that didn't I sent messages and asked them work to fix it. 

Please keep this in mind moving forward.  This will be monitored so if you move these players there they will be moved back to your 40 man.  

I appreciate everyone's cooperation in using this function correctly moving forward.  

Thanks.

Friendly reminder on this.  I still see teams moving 7, 10, 15 IL players to the Fantrax IR.  Only 60 Day IL qualifies and you must post in the 60 IL forum.
