I think we had a thread on the franchise rule, and anyone who hasn't designated someone yet is able to do so now. We did that since only one owner placed a tag on, and most of us didn't understand the need to place one on immediately after drafting.
Once established, only after a prospect draft can a new franchise be applied (e.g., franchise gets carded and needs to be promoted; franchise tag is vacant during FA and Prospect drafts; franchise is applied to new franchise player). Reading the rule, it looks like the franchise doesn't need to be put on a newly drafted prospect.
As such, I'm going to franchise Adley Rutschman (p '20).
Noodling with my roster drops, anyone rebuilding who's interested in some youth/prospects, open to offers (not sure who I'm keeping yet, just testing the market):
MacKenzie Gore
Cristian Pache
Matt Manning
Alec Bohm
Sam Huff
James Karinchak
Also open to moving some good bounceback candidates:
Luke Voit
Gary Sanchez
Zach Plesac
And
Lucas Sims (R1/C3) [$3.19M] has a nice card, but is an ill fit for my park if someone wants to inquire.
