Hey everyone,
Just a reminder that the off-season roster deadline is Wednesday, January 30th. The following teams are still in violation and must make roster adjustments by Wednesday (or the commissioner will make the roster moves to get the roster legal):
Tampa Bay (overcap 1,620,700)
Cleveland (3 players over 25 man active roster)
Washington (4 players over 25 man active roster)
The following must occur by 1/30 to be legal:
- Active roster should be at or below 25 players (below 25 if you plan to participate in the off-season auction).
- All minor leaguers no longer eligible for the minors (500 or more career MLB at bats/100 or more career MLB innings pitched) must be promoted to your active 25-man roster by this date. Failure to do so will result in that player being released.
o Note: Once a minor leaguer reaches 500 or more career MLB at bats/100 or more career MLB innings pitched, they are no longer considered minor leaguers and must be permanently promoted during the off-season. The player becomes part of your 25-man roster when you promote them during the off-season and can no longer be promoted/demoted to your minors going forward.
- Roster should be under cap (based on the updated 2018 player salaries).
o Financials spreadsheet to reflect updated caps and player salaries will be provided by end of year 2018.
- If a player has a long-term injury heading into the 2019 season, you can place the player on the Long-Term DL. The player will not count against your cap or 25-man roster.
- Failure to make your roster legal by the 1/30 date will result in the commissioner adjusting your roster to make it legal.
- Trading will be closed after this date to conduct the minor league draft and auction. Once the minor league draft and auction are complete, trading will open back up.
Also, as an FYI, here's the off-season schedule:
Off-season Roster Deadline (1/30)
Commissioner adjusted roster moves for illegal rosters (1/31)
Minor League Draft (2/1)
Off-season Auction (24 hours after the final pick of the minor league draft)
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
Thanks everyone!
