Moneyball Baseball Contract Thread

Good luck to you Paul, but technically, do we have to announce prospect promotion now, or can we wait until the regular season? I am thinking about doing this myself, but I thought I could wait until after the FA draft.

Thanks!

Section 10.09 says you must have a 40 man roster at the completion of winter free agency. Section 7.02 says if you have a full 40 man roster, prospects can't be promoted until there is room to do so. Section 7.03 says players on the 40 man can't be released while a season is in progress (however that's defined?) to promote a prospect.

While I very well could be missing something, it seems that it would be prudent to promote a prospect now. At a minimum you'd avoid having to eat a contract because of a full 40 man. You could probably trade your way into an empty roster spot too once FA is over.

Madal has this right on the money but it brings up a point I've been meaning to address. Gonna move it to the regular chat thread.

I am releasing:

Kevin Cron
Cole Irvin
Austin Adams



Promoting:
Nick Madrigal
Ian Anderson

do the promotions need to be made now? if not, I'll wait and see if they get cards first.

I am releasing

Chris Davis
Zack Cozart
Felipe Vasquez (good riddance)
Touki Toussaint

I am promoting

Dylan Carlson

from prospect to full roster member. I'm hopeful that he will work his was from backup to full time outfield in the future.

Finally, as a new owner I am exercising my right under Section 9.12 to "amnesty" Justin Verlander. It's unfortunate that he was injured this late in his career, but I can't afford to take the chance that he'll be back and still worth $9.96M.

Bobcats and Mccoveys just executed a trade on the site, making a record of it here. Bobcats send AJ Pollock to Mccoveys for Seth Lugo.
