FREE AGENT ELIGIBILITY: Unsigned carded players from the previous SOM 365 season, and players with more than 6 years of service time and an expiring contract, are eligible for free agency. In addition, MLB players who were uncarded the previous SOM 365 season, and who had at least 50 at bats or 30 innings pitched during the current MLB season, will be eligible for free agency. [Note, this means that players with no MLB experience prior to the 2020 MLB season, but who are carded in the SOM 2020 season, are still considered prospects and not free agents for the purpose of our annual prospect draft]. If you sign a player and SOM either does not produce a card for that player, or produces an unleashed card, you are still responsible for their contract.

The way I take this is that as long as a player played in 2019, and had at least 50 AB or 30 IP in 2020, he will be eligible for the upcoming free agency even though he was uncarded in 2019. Is this correct?

Did I miss the answer to this question?

That is correct.

Proposed Rule Changes:

(1) I propose that we revise Article IX Section 7 from

CONTRACT EXTENSION AND ARBITRATION DECISIONS: Team owners will have to make decisions about offering players contract extensions or going to arbitration by Nov. 30 for the upcoming MLB season. If a player with an expiring contract is not offered an extension then he will be considered to have been released. If a player is under control but not eligible for arbitration then he will be considered retained for another year. If you wish to release an arbitration ineligible player then you must make that announcement by the Nov. 30 deadline.

OFFSEASON ACTIVITIES AND DEADLINES:
A. PLAYER CUTS: Team owners will have to make decisions about cutting players under contract by Nov. 30 for the upcoming MLB season. Released players become available to be picked up on waivers (see Article VIII Section 3), but the team owning the player remains responsible for his contract until the player contract has been picked up on waivers or until the contract expires.
B. CONTRACT EXTENSION AND ARBITRATION DECISIONS: Team owners will have to make decisions about releasing players, offering players contract extensions, or taking the player to arbitration by March 31 for the upcoming MLB season. If a player with an expiring contract is not offered an extension then he will be considered to have been released and becomes a free agent. If a player is under control but not eligible for arbitration then he will be considered retained for another year unless he is actively released. If you wish to release an arbitration ineligible player then you must make that announcement by the March 31 deadline. Remember, these decisions affect player contracts for the upcoming MLB season and the subsequent SOM season, and do not impact the SOM card season about to be played.
