Another idea I would like to suggest for a possible vote would be doing a Franchise Tag on a free agent to be. I would like to start it this offseason if it is approved. But the idea would be to have a "baseball franchise tag". It would be like the MLB Qualifying Offer. We set a dollar amount on last year's Qualifying Offer. In 2017 it is projected to be $16.7M.
Right now if you have a free agent, you have 2 choices. To extend the player based on his real life contract that he signs or to decline him and get a possible compensation pick and try to bid on him for a discount. This will be a 3rd choice. You can sign that player for ONE year only for $16.7M. If you do that, you get him for the one year only and after that year he will be a automatic free agent and you will have to bid on him. A good example last year would of been David Price. He might of had a great value at one year $16.7M instead of the 7 years at $30M. Or risk losing him if you decline him.

I like the idea, but have reservations.
In real life, the player has a choice to accept or decline the offer, deciding if it is to his benefit or not.
Here, it gives an opportunity to get a potential discount on some really high end guys, while only committing for one year. There doesn't seem to be a down side for choosing this option, when its available.
Perhaps the tag amount should be based on the yearly avg of the contract he recieves in real life? Plus some percentage, say 20%, or 33%. ...and maybe put the minimum tag amount at the $16.7 mil level?

My concern is that if you have a player that qualifies for a compensation pick, why should you get the pick if you win the player in "Auction" at a 20% discount. Sounds like a disadvantage to 19 other owners...

Yeah the manager does not get the compensation pick if they win them back. They only get the 20% discount. Sorry, I miss typed that part.

This happened in the off-season and thought it was decided after that the new rule was you couldn't get compensation and the discount |

It was. The only thing you get when you win the player back is the 20% discount. You only get the compensation pick when you don't get the player back and if he does qualify.
