Padres brought up a wonderful suggestion to add a option for owners in the off-season. We are going to add the Restricted Franchise Tag. You can do this for players that are free agents and arbitration eligible players. Not for the players that are UFA cause those are automatic free agents. This will give each manager another choice. If you put the player on Restricted Franchise Tag you will open an auction for them in the Restricted Franchise Tag Auction page. You will make the opening bid. The bidding will be like a regular auction. Once there is a winning bid that stands for 12 hours that will be the new contract for the player. The original team will then have a choice to take the new contract and keep the player or give them to the winning bid's team. The original team would then get compensation depending on the value of the contract per year. Then that team will have that new contract. For compensation, we could do supplemental picks. It was brought up maybe having the winning bid team forfeit a pick to the original team but we allow trading of picks and not all teams have a pick to give up. Or we could do if you have to give up a 2nd round pick you would lose your next 2nd round pick. If you don't have one then it will be the following year's pick.
Here are the values that we could go with. These could change if people want.
<$4M = No compensation
$4M - $6M = 3rd round supplemental pick plus signing team's 3rd round pick
$6.1M - $9.5M = 2nd round supplemental pick plus signing team's 2nd round pick
$9.6 plus = 1st round supplemental pick plus signing team's 1st round pick
