I figured we could have a place to discuss any potential rule change in season and come to a rather quick decision on a few at the end of the season. 2024 Rules that didn't have enough support: - $$ Salary Cap ($5M-10M) eating (Teams that are tight against the cap, can have teams without hold/eat $$ during trades)
2025 Potential Rule Changes: I would love to see the implementation of a lottery system even if it's just within the top 5-10 and doesn't include everyone who misses the playoffs. I think talking about/revisiting contract breakdowns would be interesting especially with how there is no limit to deferred money in MLB contracts. Discussion on Opt Outs vs Player Options very similar but different yet one is allowed and the other we take as not being included. |

"I think talking about/revisiting contract breakdowns would be interesting especially with how deferred money has entered the cap at a pretty high. "
I dont know what this sentence means lol
I will always be against trading cash. 1. its a way bigger advantage to big market teams and 2 stop handing out / trading for dumb contracts that you can't afford and it won't be a problem. (not you, just in general)

(not you, just in general) Fixed, It was more so with the various ways deferred money has been used this past offseason. lol 100% agree on the trading cash, I just figured since there really wasn't a whole lot of support for it a new year might have owners feeling different. I think the $ opens more issue than it solves, sometimes it sucks that trades don't lineup because of the $$. I'd honestly love to see some 3 team trades to resolve it but it's tough with the current compensation. I love the strategy behind it but if you can't find ballpark/reasonable compensation it's hard for teams to let top tier talent walk away for a back end 1st. I think sometimes teams are forced to sign guys to backloaded contracts. I'd love to find a middle ground in what teams are offered in RFA (those bids also are very impactful) and backloaded $$. I think ideally everyone would prefer not to kick the can down the road but it sometimes calls for it. I think the bidding process could use a tweak imo. |
