Free Agent Transaction

You've chosen to drop: Hornsby, Rogers (1924) ($12,000,000)
Your current funds: $1,420,000
Your resulting funds: $13,420,000

You're unable to execute this transaction for the following reasons:
- You'd be left with less than the minimum of 2 players who can catch.
- You may not pick up any players until the Waivers period is over.

Why would you be dropping Rajah!?

I have had this happen when Hal has inadvertently misdrafted me an illegal team (31 players, no catchers, 16 pitchers.....it happened more just after the move from TSN). It requires a note to Stratomatic through "contact us" to get it corrected. (picking up another catcher if that is the issue would then allow usual transactions).

It was a $60 mil league . . . I already have Kiner. lol.

AND, I already HAD two catchers. (One whose main position was NOT catching.)

Groan. Screwed up my whole draft.

Yeah, you can fill out a draft card with a catcher and someone like Beckwith, and if you lose out on Beckwith and get Schmidt, then you are a one catcher team. I believe you are not allowed to make a roster move until that is corrected.

That is correct. If you draft a 1-catcher team, you are frozen out of waivers. Moral to the story - always draft two or more Guys with C as their primary position in leagues running waivers.
