The Franhise
2017 Player Options

Here is where you post your decions for:
- Player options
- Arbitration Decisions
- Decline/Accept new contracts

You can decide if you keep the player or drop the player.  As this is an option you do not pay anything for declining an option.  You can start making the decisions after the 2016 regular season.
Decisions have to be made by March 1, 2017

Please follow the following steps:
1. Take your time deciding.
2. Post your decision.
3. Do not delete or edit the post.  Once you made a decision you can not change it.
4. If you accept a contract and then trade the player, that player is accepted and the new manager that received the player can not decline him.  If you trade the player before accepting the player, the
   new manager that received the player will be able to make a decision.  And that new owner will be eligible for the discount or compensation pick.

Here is the following choices and rules.

MLB Free Agents (FA in MLML)
You can either accept the new real life contract or you can decline it. 
If you accept it, you take the contract for whatever the player signed for in real life.  You will have the same option years as the contract as well. 
If you decline it, the player will be placed in auctions. If you win the player in auction, you will receive a 20% discount on the contract. If you do not win the player back, and the player is rated in the top 50 in Yahoo, you will receive a compensation pick in the 2017 new player draft.   

Arbitration Players (Orange in MLML)
You can either accept the new arbitration salary that is agreed upon in real life or you can decline it.
Same rules apply for accepting it or declining it.  You still would get the 20% discount if you win the player back.  If not you would get the compensation pick if the player is eligible. 

Option Year Players (Blue in MLML)
You can either accept the option year or decline the player.  Same rules apply as above.
If the player has multiple option years, if you accept the option years, you are only accepting the one year option.  You will have another option year the next year. 

Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA in MLML)
These players were won on auction and they can not be extended. These players will automatically be free agents. You will be eligible for the 20% discount or the compensation pick if applicable.

Players that are accepted will be in green.  Players that are declined will be in red.  Players will not be deleted from this page so we will know who gets a discount and who the original owner of the player was.  If there are any questions or mistakes please contact me.  With the arbitration players and MLB time of service we might have a player that should be in arbitration but might not be in real life.  Please check your teams to see if any of your players that are in arbitration in 2017.  If your player is wrong please contact me and I will look into it and change it if needed.

Bryan,

Excellent job in pulling this together. Explanations regarding player status were concise and easy to comprehend.

thanks

I will accept Jonathan Lucroy's option

As for my arbitration players, I think Odor is incorrectly listed, according to spotrac he's under team control for one more year
