A question that pertains to future contracts. So once the initial auction is closed and processed, or once Opening Day comes and players can be placed on the DL, the new contracts we bid on will be for how many years? For example April 6 comes and someone posts a player because they have an opening on their MLB roster, will the bids be for only one year or more? I understand options are only available during the off season. 29 - Maximum Contract is 4 years *36 Year Old Player = 3 year max contract *37 Year Old Player = 2 year max contract *38+ Year Old Player = 1 year max contract *Those max contracts do not include the option year. Age Requirements are based on the player’s age at the time of the April 2, 2017. 30 - Please post bids in this fashion (or some similar format): ##.# (cost), # years+(years). Bids are only made to the hundreth place and no further (##.#). Ex. 3 years + @ $2.75 31 - Options can be added to players by placing a "+" after the years. This means that at the end of the contract, if the player has an option, the owner can decide to keep that player for one more season or let him go. You can only give a player an option for one year. You are allowed to offer 4 years and add an option for a 5th year. 32 - Total Contract Value wins the bid for example the 3 years + @ $2.00 would win this bid: 2 years + @ $2.75 = $5.50-TCV 3 years + @ $2.00 = $6.00-TCV So during the initial auction we go by highest amount but during the season a team wins the bid by total contract value, correct?

Yes that's correct. I say this talking to everyone, it is imperative you read the rules and understand them. Me and Gray are here to answer questions to help you understand them. We have said from day one to ask questions. We can't make you understand, but we can help.

I completely understand Josh, no problem here. I also understand that when someone reads the rules it's one thing until those rules are applied. And also, there are times in the future when rules are modified.

Chipper, you do understand when a dynasty is in it's infancy stage that issues are addressed right? No one league is completed with it's rules from day 1 of it's inception.

I vote for Option years to any player signed or that you pick up as free agents. It happens in real life, and with this being a Dynasty league options are important.
Example: i've got Francisco Lindor for a 5yr. contract, an option year here is def. needed.

I agree there should be a limit. 2 players would be fine. Or 3.

There needs to be a limit, you really shouldn't be able to put an option on every FA you sign.

If options are unlimited I will use one for every single FA, because, why not?

CLE, You are right the MLB does not have a limit, but teams also have to pay a buyout sum if they decline a club-option and that's just something to difficult for us to track.
I think most agree we need to put a limit on options. Sounds like 2 options per year is the way to go. Thanks for all of the discussion.
By putting a limit on options it will create a better Free Agency pool on a yearly basis. Which in turn allows for competitive balancing. It allows teams that are rebuilding to be able to rebuild by signing a few solid free agents. Like Washington said if every player had the ability to add an option year then you would do it because why not do it? Many of us are in the Franchise Dynasty league where we can use an option on infinite number of players. The Free Agency pool was quite awful this past year allowing no one to make a turn around.
So the proposal for this is:
Each team may sign two players per free agency with a club option to their contract. This means that upon completion of the year listed the team may choose to retain that player for a further year at the same salary. If the option is declined then the player is entered into free agency as normal.
Important Details to know:
Club Options must be announced when bidding by placing a "+" after the years.
If a club option is accepted then the player returns to the team for another season at his existing salary. He will then become an unrestricted free agent in the following offseason.
If a club option is declined then the player enters into free agency that offseason and the team is not rewarded a compensation pick if it is a top 50 player.
You may trade for any number of players with a club option. If you trade a player with a club-option you do NOT gain the ability to add another club-option to a player.
You strictly have the ability to sign 2 players with a club option per year regardless of any trades
Option years do NOT count towards total contract value. Oakland bids first 2 years @ $2.75 = $5.50-Total Contract Value Pittsburgh bids second 2 years + @ $2.75 = $5.50-Total Contract Value (This bid would be invalid, There must be the minimum increase in total contract value.)
I think that covers most all of the details, let us know if you there is something missing. Any questions, comments or concerns let us know now before we put this to a vote.

I think you will lose on this one Braves. I don't see why it makes sense to be able to give every FA an option. I agree with the proposal, and I think 2 options per year is a good number.

If every FA had an option year attached it really would effect future FA offseasons it would really limit the number of FA that are available to sign. Two options per offseason would really make you think about who is worth giving the possibility of having an extra year on your team.

So the options are for the free agents and not the players won in the draft, now I think Miami asked a question for which I can't find it. He asked about having 10 players with 1 year contracts now since we drafted them they aren't entitled to the option. If I am understanding this correctly then the actual player I chose in a auction won the bidding on I can keep for a year? But the backup catcher I signed to fill a hole I can give him an option and have him longer?
