Re-Sign Rule (Started in 2018)
As your players' contracts expire, you will have a chance to re-sign them. Every off-season, you can re-sign your expiring contracts.
There are limitations:
*You may only have 4 resigned players on your roster at any given time, and these players are not tradeable for 1-Year (NTC) after being re-signed
*You may only re-sign 2 players in any year.
*When you trade a player, their tag transfers to the new team so that team must have an open re-sign spot.
*You may not waive a re-signed player, if you wish to demote them it must be done via Waiver Pass.
*All Re-Signs must be for at least 3 years (but not greater than 4-yr or 5-yrs).
*Buyouts of a Re-Sign comes with the following cap hit and the re-sign tag remains.
4 years remaining on contract - 75% of annual value
3 years remaining - 75%
2 years remaining - 50%
1 year remaining - 50%
*Players must be FA's, if they have an option year and you decline the option they are not eligible to be re-signed, they go into the FA pool and are free to be bid on.
Only players who have completed their contract can be re-signed. You can not restructure someone’s deal and call it re-signing. When trading a re-sign the tag transfers and the team acquiring must have an open re-sign spot.
To re-sign a player, you must post the player in the player resigns forum for approval.
* Process
We will use the Fantrax rankings to determine the contract amount. A player's "scores" from the past 3 years will be used. We will count the most current year twice and the previous 2, once each to get a total score. Dividing that total by 4 will give an average score. We will us that as a percentage and multiply it by the maximum salary to give the contract amount.
An example:
SP Dallas Keuchel:
Fantrax scores the past 3 years:
2017 - 84
2016 - 45
2015 - 96
Using those to determine the contract would work like this:
We double weight the most current year (2017)
84 x 2 = 168
Next, add the 2 other years to that.
168 + 45 + 96 = 309
Then we divide that by 4 to give an average which is 77.25. Using that number as a percentage, we multiply that against the $13M max starter contract.
Which gives a contract of $10,042,500. That, we'll round to the closest 100k so it'd be a contract of $10.0M.
* Player maximums:
$14M for position players
$13M for staring pitchers
$ 9.7M for relief pitchers
* As noted in the example above, all contracts will be rounded to the nearest $100,000.
* Any player who is or turns 35 on or before opening day will be given a 25% discount.
Teams may post their players in the Re-sign section with the contract figured using the above formula or simpl post the player's name and the TAB will calculate it for you. Once the contract amount is calculated and approved, teams can then either accept or decline the contract. If accepted, teams will need to choose if they want the contract for 3, 4 or 5 years.
