question on the $10M Prospect signing bonus pool. Is any portion of that tradeable? I would think either completely untradeable or a limit on the amount you can trade for. For example you can trade for up to $5 or $10 million in additional bonus pool. somewhat similar to how real life international free agency pools work

Hey a couple other rules questions around the draft for when we get to that point. How do we handle pending free agents who haven't signed by the draft? Thinking specifically about Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. Do you just assume his real life contract once it's signed and thats the risk you run in drafting him? And then for players that would still have PP status but have signed long term contracts (Scott Kingery, Odubel Herrera etc) do you take on their contract or still follow their PP price progression for example on Odubel, based on service he should have PP years of $3 and $5 left, but he is signed for $5.4, $7.4, $10.4, $11.5 and $12.5. so for 2019/2020 does he cost $3 and $5 ir $5.4 and $7.4?
thanks

With regards to someone like Odubel you would choose between drafting him as a PP player or with his real life contract and I'm guessing this must be declared when drafting the player, so be sure to double check whether or not a player has a real life contract or not. |

Matthew is correct. It must be declared at time of draft. |

If I were to elect to to take the PP 3M/5M on Odubel instead of his real life contract, would he then become a free agent after the $5M year or would he remain with my team under the terms of his remaining real life contract? |

If you chose the 3M/5M contract for Odubel, after the contract expired you can use a Franchise Tag (FFA Tag) which would allow you to assume his real life contract, or use the Restricted Tag (RFA Tag) and allow the league to bid on him with certain restrictions and either match the highest bidder, trade the player or let him walk to the winning team for draft pick compensation. |

I see the response related to real life free agents and having to take on the real life free agent contract once it is signed, which I guess might be hard to budget. Question regarding players that are past the pp period but in real life are arbitration eligible. If they go through arbitration, do you pick up that salary and just for the one year period? Thanks

Thanks Pete Yes. You get whatever the arb signing is or longer contract if they agree to it instead of a one year arb |

Now that the world series is over and the real life hot stove has started, I had a question related to our draft.
I know for a drafted player you have the option of taking a real life salary or pp if still within the years. I know option years in real life are options for our fantasy owners.
But what happens if a player or team has declined an option and the player becomes a free agent or signs a new contract for a different amount? Would you still be able to select between the options year, pp and/or real life pending free agency?? Does it matter if this happens before or after a player has been drafted in our initial draft??
Just wondering since in the past few days there has been lot of options being exercised or opted out of. Not sure if the timing of whether or not they have been selected in our draft matters.
Thanks
Pete

Thanks Pete Yes, it matters when you draft him. Logan Morrison, for example, if drafted now is drafted as a FA and you get his new contract when he signs it. |

Question about the franchise tag. So for example 2020 I use my franchise tag on Gausman to get his real life contract. Do I need to keep the tag on him the next year to continue getting his real life contract or can I use the tag on someone else and continue paying him his contract value until the end of his deal/6-year limit?

If the real life deal is more then one year, then you don’t have to use the franchise tag again and just have that contract. However, if he signs a one year deal or arbitration deal, then you have the option of using the tag again
