Will keep all my minimum salary guys at 500k instead of rolling into arb

M Gonzalez
J mcneil
S alcantara

I think this is what you planned to automatically do anyway but wanted to confirm it

It's my understanding the ARB players are moving forward with their contracts as is.
It's the auctioned or real life contracts that are allowed to be pushed forward into 2021.

Push K. Bryant and his contract forward so it would be:
2021: 18.6M
2022: Arb
2023: FA

I think you can push the salary forward 1 year, but I don't think you get the ARB?

I stand corrected.
I believe TEX is correct with this one OAK

[Chicago White Sox]

Would like to use 2020 salary for the following players for 2021:

Tim Anderson
Alex Colome
Brandon Woodruff
Lucas Giolito
Joey Lucchesi
Josh Bell
Trevor May
Luis Robert
Yadier Molina
Emilo Pagan
Ross Stripling

With Bryant, you can use $18.6 in 2021.  In 2022, he will be a free agent.

So if you have a guy that had his last year of rookie minimum in 2020, you can use that $500K again in 2021.  But you will not use ARB 1 and will jump to ARB 2 in 2022.

Thanks! Makes sense.

I would like to extend the contracts of the following players with 2021 being year 1:

Alec Mills (SP/CHC)
Anthony Santander (RF/BAL)
Jared Walsh (1B/LAA)
Jurickson Profar (2B,SS,LF/SD)
Rio Ruiz (3B/BAL)

I would like to extend the contract of Aroldis Chapman (RP/NYY), so that the contract for 2021 would be $12.5m, and 2022 would be the option year for $12.5m.

I would like to extend the contract of Teoscar Hernandez (LF,RF/TOR), so that the contract for 2021 would be $500k, 2022 $500k, and 2023 would be the option year for $500k.

Scott Oberg (RP/COL) is a free agent now. I am dropping him and he can go into the MLB Auction pool.

I want to designate Joc Pederson (OF/LAD) as a "Restricted Free Agent". I know the bidding cannot start until January 2, 2021, but I am going to throw his name in the Restricted Free Agent thread and drop him from my roster in Fantrax. Is it OK to do that?

For everyone else, their 2020 salary should be used for 2021.

Bryan, 

Please check the contracts of R. Ruiz and T. Hernandez in the spreadsheet.

Obviously, I'm keeping Springer, just in case I needed to post that

[San Diego Padres]

Please extend a QO to Giancarlo Stanton for this year.
