Bored and was looking over some stuff.
The March 1st announcement makes things interesting for some teams.
I mentioned LAD and his questionable spending. Forseeable moves will have to be made by him... and many other teams as well.
BAL is -9 mil , CWS is -380k, COL is -14.47 Mil
Also many arbitration contracts are being arbitrated by arbitrators. (I never had the oppurtunity to ever write this sentence before)
The forecoming spring training will be a relief for us all as baseball will be back... but these managers might feel some stress to get their rosters right... CWS the least of course as that will most likely be a simple drop.
LAD is going to have to do some sort of wizardry to fix his spending. I created a poll for some suggestions and good humor. <3

Just asking this because I’ve noticed several teams actually over the cap limit, what happens if that issue is not fixed by opening day? If teams don’t make the necessary moves to be under cap limits, will they be forced to forfeit games until their roster meets the limits?

If teams don’t make the necessary moves to be under cap limits, will they be forced to forfeit games until their roster meets the limits? We haven’t had that happen before. But yes, they would have an illegal roster and would forfeit each week until they are under.

How did they get over cap?
"11. You must have salary cap room at the time you make the bid. If you don't, the bid will be invalid."
Might want to check the bidding and see if they violated rule 11. If so go back and award the player to the next highest bidder.

If so go back and award the player to the next highest bidder. My assumption is most did not have the salary arbitration numbers factored in at the time of our free agency. Many people have only had 1 or 2 offseason so can be a lot to get used to off the bat. I think the plan is to flip our first year player draft and our free agency next year so that'll probably solve that issue

I dunno if we're flipping anything, mostly because I never know anything. But I do remember we talked about at least penciling in the mlbtraderumors projections so that everyone should have a ballpark idea of their cap.

We will be doing the draft on January 1st and then the auctions would start on Feb 1 next year. That gives more times for these players to get their arb numbers in.

I mean, it is the manager's responsibility to manage the budget. it wasn't Spotrac... but there were tons of available resources on google to estimate the costs. they had Christian Javiar estimated at 3.3 Mil... he ended up extending, and the estimate was still pretty accurate. They had his 2024 at 7.5 and 2025 at 10. they structured his deal around that estimate I believe... said we will give 21 Mil a year in 26 and 27.
So penciling in those estimates is a great start. You can even just run it in a different cell on the sheet as a whole group... maybe put it right there at line 41 and wedge it in between totals and cash adjustment. and just an opinion, if you color code the rosters so that all long-term contracts are positioned at the top, and all of the arbitration contracts at the bottom of the sheet.
The players who will have a variable salary at the bottom of the roster would keep them fresh in each manager's mind. also within the sheet itself, it will become way easier for you to write the function within Google Sheets. You would just have to re-write some of the functions.
I'll use COL google sheet as he is a good example of how arbitration can screw you if you don't pay attention.
Rookie contracts(purple would count as paid salaries = to green) ARB = orange until the commish confirms their 2023 salary, for example, my team the NYY... Christian Javiar was given an extension and I took that extension. As each player signs the admins can confirm those salaries online... the admin would confirm them to the Green color meaning they were paid for the year. Real-life contracts stay in bright blue and just stay at the top. that money should be considered spent lol.
the dark blue option still runs the same...
by the end of spring training that arbitration number will dwindle down to zero for the year you are in.
What this does is it makes it easier to navigate your roster because it is color coded. You will now be able to track what money is spent already through paid contracts as well as highlight variable contracts in a separate cell. Arbitration really only becomes an issue in the offseason. The color code thing works best I think.
when the real-life players agree to their salary for the year... just confirm them to green. I know next year the scheduling might change... but for reference, March 1st would be a good date to confirm the arbitration contracts...
The thing is you can run into players that just take forever before agreeing to contracts... so March 1st might work for us but not ALL MLB players. Those contracts can still stay at the bottom of the excel sheet, and rewriting the function will be way easier if the players are grouped similar to how I explained it above.
Orange is the right color, because it's like a slow down and think about something kinda color... managers that didn't heed it and pump the brakes crashed into debt.
So by Opening day... everyone on line D (Roster year 2023) should either be Bright Blue, Green, or Purple. Think of Orange arbitration as stop lights and stop signs down the road ahead... as you get closer to it is a higher chance of having an accident.
We can also have managers submit it in a transaction-type thing.
by February you will start to have some players agree to their deals... the Astros signed 27 deals in one day a week or two ago.
they all agree to these contracts between Dec-Opening day. Managers can drop them in one by one or as a part of a big list of signings... and they would just essentially have the admin change it from orange to green.
I hope this all kinda makes sense... It is kind of amazing what you can do with excel.
