Its been a few years since anything has had much steam as far as changes go, but I would also love to have this topic as a place for the new people to ask any questions they have and get help so all can see. Open forum.

I have a proposal-
1. If a trade is verbally agreed to and then proposed on the trade thread and the other team who agreed to the trade does not get on the website to confirm the deal before the 11:59pm trade deadline, the proposing team gets to punch that owner in the nuts... @txrangers....hahahah

I'm fine with the nut punch but still wondering why wait until 11:59 to post it

I'm against punching anyone in the testes. Can't speak for all league owners, but, I don't want any guy getting close to my member with their hands.
I'll vote for a swift kick in the balls.
No hand to dick contact.

Actually he’s on to something. Those are the rules but we have busy lives. Since there is another person who is depended upon here and there are several back and forth conversations what’s the harm of allowing a trade to go through that is posted prior to the deadline and not confirmed till the next day even. Assuming the original post is before the deadline.

I agree with Whitey.
Give a 12 hour grace period on any deadline day trade in the event it goes past the bewitching hour, providing it was posted in time. I'm sure it sucked missing out on a trade you just spent minutes, hours or a day working on. Shit happens sometimes. This would eliminate any need for hand to genital contact.

Any thoughts on expanding the playoffs by one team.
I'm a proponent and have proposed a few viable scenarios over the last few years. It didn't get much traction in the past.
This past year was too good. Just ask D Back. Maybe revisit and we can come up with some fresh ideas.

Def out on expanding the playoff at all. That leaves us with weird half week things. MAYBE I could see a "you must be in the top 12 to get a playoff spot" clause or something to prevent trash divisions from taking it away from the third ranked team, but also, its great now and I vote to leave it alone.
If we gave a 12 hourr period then the same question and issue happens 12 hours later. There is still NO NEED to wait until late at night the night of the deadline to make deals.

I agree with no extension, I mean this goes to guys waiting to the last minute for deals. I would just make sure you're making a deal with posts it after they agree and then it falls on you to accept it before the deadline. I think more issues arise with a grace period.

They agreed on a trade and the Rangers fell asleep! Why can’t posting it suffice? Let me ask you this, if there is an error with the trade (ie: he sent a pick he no longer had?) Are they able to rework the deal? It’s kind of the same thing.
I don't like it. I think you should be able to be busy some days. I had call outs and a sick kid the day of our deadline and could care less about anything going on in here. I did however check my messages and I am always very active. That SF trade made me nauseous.

"if there is an error with the trade (ie: he sent a pick he no longer had?) Are they able to rework the deal?"
At/after the deadline? No. You have to post and accept a valid deal by the deadline. Hence the term deadline.

I looked up the definition of deadline. Thanks. That was a dumb question.

I like the idea that you have to be in the top 12 to make the playoffs. So much that I think I proposed it last year

Tags are all flexible? update the salary cap page to include that tags are now flexible? I didn't really realize there was a rule change in 2016/2017, if I'm reading that right lol.

Tags are all flex tags yes, and not everyone has the same number. We used to have 1-6, now we have 2-4 so the differences aren't quite as vast. (salary cap numbers were altered to reflect this as wel at the time)

You should be able to trade the following year draft picks once this years draft begins.
For example once our draft begins let's say I am in 3rd round and I don't like anyone I would like to be able to trade that pick for a pick or 2 in the next years draft.

I like Black Kevin's idea on trading the following years draft picks when the current draft is in process. Adds a new twist.

Can we update the salary cap page in the rules section to reflect current status now that we made changes to tags and salary caps? Trying to help out the new Braves owner and don’t know how many he has to work with. Or is it somewhere else?

I would assume the Tags are current on the google doc? It definitely should get updated for all the new folks. + Tags are all now flex and rules should reflect that.

I guess I shouldn't. I volunteer you as tribute. I agree it needs updating I'm assuming they'll get to do it. They are down a .25 Commissioner as well. I was just saying the Google Doc can be used as an updated form of the rules til they get updated themselves. I brought up suggestion of it being updated? I think they were changed back in 2017?

Nats talk to Ty. He and Swo wrote the rules and they do need minor updating. I'm all for getting the help going, esp this time of year.
