2030/2031 Offseason

First time doing this stuff. Really learning as I go with literally everything. Should be an interesting offseason.

Thank god I'm not running a major league team lol

Thats exactly why we have NBL. Its hard to break something we cant fix in NBL.

Racist.

Ok Donald Sterling.

Was looking through the rules today and did not see this! Must have missed it - thanks for the heads up. Is this a dugout rule or a real rule in japanese baseball?

I literally know nothing about the Japanese league.

I understand the situation, but it would have been prudent of you to mention that they were there when they shouldnt be prior the draft.

Since the players were clearly marked as being Rule 5 eligible and you failed to mention anything before the draft that they were but shouldnt be (and failed to protect them), I'm not returning the players. Its been our policy to not fix peoples mistakes for a few years now. Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope we can all move on from it and not start a flaming war over it. Just let it go and move on.


Regardless, the file is uploading now. Sorry for the delay.

I put them there because DFA wasnt set to the right time and signed FA's were timing out on DFA. I'll make sure you dont lose them.
