The following changes will begin this season:
1)Each team will have 2 franchise tags per season instead of 1.
2)We will have a new compensation pick system in which the team signing a franchise tagged player loses a 4th round pick(or lowest/worst pick if they do not have a 4th). If a team has no picks in the current season they will lose their lowest/worst pick in the following season. Maximum of 1 lost pick no matter how many franchise tagged players they sign.
The team declining to match receives a compensation pick based on the AAS(Average Annual Salary) in which his franchise tagged player was signed for. The scale is below:
$5M or less = Compensation Pick After 4th round
$5.01M-$10M = Compensation Pick After 3rd round
$10.01M-$15M = Compensation Pick After 2nd round
$15.01M or higher = Compensation Pick After 1st round
3)We will be using the current 2 bid system for RFA's(Franchise Tagged Players) only. Unrestricted FA and in-season FA will go to unlimited bids with 500k bidding increments.
4)Players drafted in the minor league draft will no longer get a $0.5M(6 year) contract. Instead their contracts will be structured like this:
Year 1 $0.5M
Year 2 $0.5M
Year 3 $0.5M
Year 4 $0.5M
Year 5 $1M Option
Year 6 $2.5M Option
Year 7 $5M Option
When cutting you owe 50% of years 1-4. Cuts for Years 5-7 are free as long as they are before the season. Basically in Years 5, 6 and 7 you are deciding whether or not to tender a contract to the player at that price.
Minor Leaguers drafted in years prior are grandfathered in at $0.5M(6 years). When cutting these guys you owe 50% of years 1-6.
If anyone has any questions or needs further clarification just let me know.
