FA's not picked up

[Pirates GM (Larry)]

When I drafted him he wasn't available on Fantrax. Your spreadsheet even still has him as NOT available on Fantrax

[D Backs GM (Tyler)]

Moved this from the FA area because 1. I don't want a big long thing in one of the "official" boards and 2. idk who you are talking about. This has been an issue for multiple teams and players, we were not referring to one specific case. You all know who you are though.

I thought we can just pickup guys and that's it since thats what happened with league office member swo March 22nd friday night 11:22pm picked up david Hernandez didnt say a word in the fa thread for him. So that's what I've been doing since then.

This rule on our books:

D. Adding Players to your Roster after Acquisition
All players acquired through trade, FA, or the draft are required to be picked up by the owning team in Fantrax. It is also the owner's responsibility to ensure the player is added to their team page on Chinmusic and to the google spreadsheet maintained by the league office.

FANTRAX LIMBO
If a player owned by Team A is not rostered on Fantrax, and such player is then posted for bid, bid upon, and the bids are processed with Team A raising no objection, the player will be deemed dropped. Team A will pay half the players salary, in accordance with rules on releasing players. The highest bidder will be awarded the player.



I've removed myself from this on the commissioners thread already because of the amount we battle on here so I'm not the one making ruling on this. Get mad at Swo gif you want. Hell, lets penalize Swo. I didn't catch this when it happened. Just like I didn't catch it when it happened this past week to multiple guys. but pretending that excuses everyone from following the rule is nonsense.

I would argue adding the player on fantrax could be considered raising an objection. Needs more specific language.

But yeah I'm not mad... you're the ONLY person who seems mad about this. I'm just explaining why I thought that was okay. I think in the past I have said something in the thread but I thought it wasnt required after that happened. Takes just a couple seconds to post in the thread I just didnt realize that was officially required until now.

I'm not mad, but this is not the first time you specifically have had problems with this. It is frustrating.

Mar 2019 - I had to PM you to pick up players on fantrax because people were posting them for bidding. This is a direct quote "if they are posted ot be bid on and no one says anything, you are paying to drop them and they go to the new team. "

So you were told, by me, exactly what was supposed to happen. The rules have been further clarified to avoid this in the future. And again, I'm not involved with what happens to these players from this week/last week.

Well it's kinda hard to enforce on me and not a fellow lo member right ?

[D Backs GM (Tyler)]

I literally just said lets punish Swo too. And idk what happened with Hernandez.

Just because we miss a rule once, doesn't mean we should ignore it forever. That is a terrible leap of logic.

Well it's kinda hard to punish swo since the rule was written in such a non-specific way
