Mark your calendars. 2023 Free Agency will kick off on February 8th around 7am CST.
Rockies and I will start it off by throwing out the initial 10 players. Just like years in the past if you win an auction please throw out another player with an opening bid to keep it going.
Good Luck.

Just a quick reminder and warning before auctions begin on Wednesday. Be mindful of your available cap and the number of open roster spots you have open. If you need to make a cut please post it in with your bid. Everyone besides Angels should be well versed in how this process works. The majority of you are great and stay on top of things for that I thank you!
Now here's the warning part...I don't have the time this year to look over everyone's roster and verify bids. If I am more familiar with the constraints of your cap and roster than you are there is a problem. If your bid is illegal/invalid for whatever reason it is on you to correct it (in a new post, do not edit a previously posted bid). It is no one else's responsibility to point it out. The last legal bid is the leading bid and is the one controlling the clock. Like I said earlier most of everyone here is great, no issues but there are some that get little careless with bidding and other that I think need to better familiarize themselves with their roster/cap. If there are habitual offenders or someone we feel is trying game the system there is a possibility they get put on timeout and miss out on players.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to free agency. I wish everyone good luck, I hope you sign the players you like unless it's someone I want.
Sorry for the lengthy post.

I should add. If you are unsure or have a question just ask. Some of you have my number or others can just PM me here, I have it set to email me. I'm usually pretty good at getting right back to you but this year if I'm in class or clinicals I will not have access to my phone. So if it's urgent and I haven't gotten back to you feel free to comb through the rule book, it is mostly up to date, or reach out to Rox or just ask the league, no one here is going to purposely steer you in the wrong direction.

I should have brought this up before auctions start but how do you guys feel about changing the bid increments? I'd like to get rid of the 0.1 bids and just have a 0.5 min up to 20. Then 20 to 50 the min be 1.0. And after 50 have it go to 5.0. Just my thoughts on the whole scale. But I'd definitely like to get rid of the 0.1 as soon as possible.

I think the .10 increase is ok for guys under $2-3
as far as the rest I agree.

So Rockies and I discussed it, before we get to far into this we're gonna get rid of the 0.1 bid. 0.5 from 1 to 20, then 1.0 for above 20.

FYI Now that free agency is ongoing and there are time clocks involved, the 24 hour clock on trades will be enforced.

Just so everyone is aware. We are in the process of replacing the Royals GM. We have a replacement lined up.

Was not engaged. Has not made a single post in free agency yet, including on his own RFA, rarely if at all replied to messages. Basically the only time he'd show up and participate was the draft. We have a replacement so he was removed. This is a free league so you either want to be here and participate or you don't. Simple as that.
