We are going to start the Qualifying Offer effective now. We had a overwhelming positive response in the poll and it doesn't make sense to do another one. You can make a player that is a real life MLB free agent or arbitration player a offer. That contract will be a one year deal for $16M. After the one year deal that player will be a automatic free agent in the next offseason and will have to be bid on. You would be able to get a discount if you win the player back.

Not to throw a monkey wrench into this idea that we have been hashing out for the last 6 months, but the qualifying offer has been set at 17.2M in MLB. I thought we were going to keep it the same for ease. Thoughts?

Well I thought it might just be easier to just keep it at $16M but we can always go by the MLB salary if people want.

We do use the MLB league min for 1st yr players which happens to increase so I don't see why we wouldn't increase this qualifying offer idea. Besides I believe we get yearly budget increases right?

The yearly $3M Increase is already in there. Maybe this afternoon I will put in our win total money for us. And our playoff money too.

All MLB Free Agents have their qualifying offers coming in at 17.2 million?

If you have a real life MLB free agent you can accept their new contract, decline them and try to bid for them if you want and you get a 20% discount. If you lose them and they are rated in the top 50 you would get a compensation draft pick. Or you can give them a Qualifying Offer at $17.2M for one year only and then after that year they are automatic free agents in our league and will go to our auction where you can bid on them. You might want to do that if you have a player that signed a 7 year $30M contract and you don't want to pay that but don't want to gamble and try to bid on them.

If we accept the qualifying offer for a FA, the following year will we get the 20% discount?

So for clarity before the auctions begin, where are we going to get the top 50 from?

The reason why I thought maybe doing the Qualifying Offer lower even like maybe $10-$12M is to persuade managers to do it. What is the average free agent in real life going to make? Sure you are getting the elite players sign for $25M+ per year but most contracts go for maybe $12M-$18M per year from average players? So my reasoning is why would you want to make a QO and pay him $17M if you can keep that player for 3 years at the same price or even lower? if we entice managers to use the QO more, there will be more players available in auctions the following year. That is my thinking. And I could be way off on it.
