1) Yes
2) Every player counts towards the 55 limit
I think you guys are starting to overthink the rules. If you have a question read the rules first, and then answer if there is ambiguity

I have seen this question in chat but not officially answered that I could see. Say I draft Cano with his contract TBD (as he is a free agent). Later then he signs for a 10 - year contract. Am I on the hook for all 10 year, or only the first 6 years?

Again, you guys are overthinking. If he signs a 100 year contract, you get the 100 years. whatever he signs, you get, as is the deal with any current MLB player with a contract, Free agent, or Arbitraion player.

so if he signs 100 year contract does my team get transferred to my kids and grand kids? I don't think I can make it that far.  |

For draft pick trades:
When you trade for a pick, do you need to wait until the trade is approved by LMs to actually pick? Or can we go ahead and pick is soon as the trade is signed off on by the two managers involved.
I'm obviously asking because I just traded for pick 1.2 (and so I know who I'm going to take already since Trout obviously goes first), but I just want to be clear on this before picking. This hasn't been an issue before, but actually picking starts tomorrow.

We have said that we will address trades fairly quickly if a pick is coming up. The likelyhood of a veto is not much with the draft picks, so if you trade for a pick and are OTC the pick can be made. If the TRP vetoes the trade after the pick is made, those two teams will have 24 hours to work out a deal, and the pick can't be moved to any other team. I don't see it an issue, in 3 leagues and about 10 different drafts I've only seen a pick trade vetoed once.

I'm interested in Hani's question too. I figure with all the new revenue increases, local tv, etc., average salaries are bound to go up substantially. And if it's gonna change eventually, it's less controversial if we know ahead of time.

Question:
Could you please explain further what this means "This league will not enforce vesting options". Does it mean you don't need to meet the vesting conditions to get the option or that you don't get the option regardless.
I'll give two examples, one that vests for the team, the other for the player:
Mariners have a conditional club option (same thing as a vesting option) for Felix Hernandez in 2020 for $1M (condition is that if felix is on the DL for elbow surgery for 4months then Mariners get the cheap option, but not otherwise). Does the above mean that even if Felix is out that long, then we don't option? Or does it mean we get the option regardless of whether he is on the DL long enough?
Nick Swisher has a $14M vesting option for the Indians that is guaranteed if he has 550 PAs in 2016 and passes a physical. Does that mean even if Nick meets those requirements we don't get the option? Or does it mean we get the option regardless?

Get the Felix option regardless.
Get the Swisher option regardless.
In both cases the same as all options as far as we are concerned they are club options

That's interesting, I'm intrigued because a literal reading of "we don't enforce vesting options" would mean you don't get any vesting options (the very opposite conclusion). What you're suggesting would have been "we don't enforce vesting conditions", however it's not written that way.
I'm not sure you're wrong either and the intent wasn't what you're saying. Are you one of the LM's. I've only seen jimmy and max listed as LMs.

I run another 30 team league that this league is kind of modeled on. Jimmy and Max are both in my league. I'm on the TRP and going to help out in here where I can. Consider me like the consigliere to Jimmy and Max.

Are you one of the LM's. I've only seen jimmy and max listed as LMs. Vesting options are guaranteed options based upon performance. We won't enforce the vesting option because it ties the hands down of the GM. But that option, like all other options, is a club option to the GM, so at the end of the season you have to decide whether you want to pick it up or not. But it does not "vest" like the MLB does. |

Will he Salary Cap every increase and if so how will this be implemented ? We have the right to raise the salary cap, especially assuming the rise increases in revenues and contracts. But we are not going to have a set increase. Towards the end of a season we will decide if it is necessary to raise the cap for the following season, and a decision will be made with plenty of time for everyone to assess their roster. Short answer yes, when? TBD by the TRP |
