Rule clarification:

Given that our draft has run past the start of the MLB season, a circumstance not anticipated in the original rules, I had decided to allow teams to draft any player who MLB experience at the time they were selected in this free-agent draft. In my original disclaimer, however, I only used Jordan Walker and Anthony Volpe as examples so this may have led some managers to think that uncarded draftees had to be on opening day roster of their MLB club. That was not my intent in my disclaimer or in the original design of the league where I wanted as few restrictions as possible without promoting anarchy. As it turns out, I was unwittingly to the first to apply this interpretation with my selection of Taj Bradley and this precedent was followed with the subsequent selections of Grayson Rodriguez and Brett Baty. This interpretation and application of the rule will remain in place for the remainder of this free-agent draft and we will hold a discussion post-draft to determine what language we might like to add to the rules going forward. I will be retaining the rights Bradley through the end of this draft since I have no way to equitably throw him pack into the player pool, but I will be releasing him and selecting another "uncarded" player at the conclusion of this draft that has MLB experience predating the 2023 MLB season. I am doing this because I do not wish to appear to have unfairly gained an advantage as a result of my role as the league commissioner.

I thought the intent was draft would have at most 2 uncarded players, but had to have MLB experience prior to this year. Whereas prospect draft would have all players without any MLB experience prior to this this year. Taj Bradley according to this would have been a prospect and not available in this initial draft. Is this not the interpretation?

I think all of the uncarded players drafted so far have had at least one appearance prior to the start of our draft (4-13-23). That was listed as the cutoff in the initial post by unctarheel, so I think we have to abide by that. Otherwise we have (by my count) 4 illegal picks, including Walker and Volpe who were expressly noted as draftable in the initial post.

Let me know if I've missed something, let's discuss on the other thread. Thanks!

I am freezing the draft at this point so we can quickly put this issue to bed satisfactorily for everyone. With respect to major league service dates, the adoption of the rule below will validate all draft picks made to date in the initial free-agent draft. A simple majority of seven votes will carry the resolution.

rule change/modification resolution:

No "uncarded" player may be selected in a free-agent draft unless that player has MLB experience prior to the start of said draft.
