New Re-Sign Rule
So essentially we have NO NTC on the books so any current NTC is voided until this year when 2013 re-signs occur and they get a 1-yr NTC.
New Rule:
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 and you may only re-sign 2 players in any year. All Re-Signs must be for at least 3 years (but not greater than 4-yr or 5-yrs). To re-sign a player, you must make the player an offer in the player resigns forum.
You may offer the player what you want, but there is one thing to remember: Pay cuts ARE allowed. For anybody over the age of 35, a pay raise would require good reason, as would a pay raise for somebody who struggled the previous year.
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.
Process
You will submit a contract much like you do trades, you will post the players current salary then the contract you’re offering him.
You get 3 chances to re-sign a guy, after that, he goes into Free Agency.

An addition to the re-sign rule to clarify when trading a re-sign the tag transfers and the team acq must have an open re-sign spot.

Nice change. That 3 year NTC made it rough to re-sign any but the best of players. Hopefully opens up a little more trade activity too.

Can someone clarify what happens if you buy out a resigned player. I would assume the $ follows the buy out rule, but when does the resign slot (1 of 4) open up??
Just curious.

The Resign tag sticks with you until the end of the contract. See my White Sox for an example. I bought out Quentin but am stuck with the tag, just saves salary. |

Good to know, for some reason I thought I had read after a year it opens up. |

just a suggestion, and definitely not for this year or next since too many have planned or traded around the current rules.
Here's my suggestion, if you waive a resigned guy, you are allowed to free up the resign slot, BUT the penalty is more than the standard 50% of the remaining amount, maybe 100% or higher as a tax.

Honestly teams are lucky they are even allowed to buy-out at the current set-up most leagues do not allow it at all. |

I agree, the re-sign tag saves teams money on key players, some risk should be associated with that. If you aren't sure about a player, then throw him back and bid.

I agree with making a team haul a resign. To be honest, I think people resign way too many guys that are borderline. I can understand if it's a hard to fill position, etc.

Other leagues should have zero influence in deciding what the members of this league want. I'm not a fan of his proposal either but it might behoove you to at least consider rule changes rather than insinuating he should be happy about whatever way the league is run. |

Sorry didn't know stated facts were against league rules. My bad.
Most leagues also require a 3-Yr NO TRADE/NO RELEASE. So like I said this league is lucky that its even allowed at all.
Also never said it would not be looked at just that this league was lucky this was even allowed as it is currently.

really didn't mean to start a sh-storm. Just was making a suggestion that's all. A team might want to change direction in two years, especially with owner turnover, so I thought having the option of buying back or out a resign tag (at a penalty or a higher rate that a normal buy out) might be a good idea.
You are allowed to buy out a resign player, why not also be allowed to buy back the resign tag.
For me, in hindsight I probably shouldn't have resigned Mitch Moreland, but I had the slot and he was my starting firstbaseman, and the options on free agency are very expensive. I am not complaining, it was my decision. But looking through other teams and guys that were resigned this year, not sure if all will be relevant in 4 years.
Just making a suggestion, that's all.

No one has to go 4 yrs you do have ability to go 3 yrs. Plus you can trade them to open slot after 1 yr. Its not like there are no options.
But like i said we usually open rule discussion every off-season.
