Congratulations to Neil for taking the Season 2 Championship. He overcame Rick's team in 6 games. We will gather again in the spring to see what the 2020 cards have in store for us.

Congrats, Neil!

Ditto Neil - nice job! Enjoy!

Thanks Keith and Brian, looking forward to next year.

Trade announcement:

Smitty trades

Justin Turner 3B LAD

to Splinter for

Mitch Moreland 1B SD

Jim to confirm

Confirmed

Moreland for Turner

Leaning towards rebuilding for the upcoming year. Tatis is only player unavailable. Feel free to offer. Apologies upfront, but real life is keeping me busy and I have little time to research other teams, so please, make offers as opposed to "what do you want for player x" inquiries.

Drops are due by 4/10 (Sat.). Here are the particulars:

2) All owners must drop enough players to bring their rosters to a maximum of 30 players allowing for 10 draft picks; Owners can drop more players, to allow for picks into the 15th round and/or to allow for prospects to be promoted from the prospect roster. It would be possible to cut up to 25 players in this scenario. However no team will allowed to draft past the 15th round, with one exception. In the event a trade occurs during the draft that is unbalanced that would leave a team with less than 40 players at the end of their predetermined last round, that player would be awarded a Supplemental draft pick at the end of the draft to bring their roster to 40. If this happens with multiple teams, the draft order would follow the same order as earlier rounds.

Would trade Y Grandal (4.2 mil) for a 3rd FA pick, or a 1st round prospec pickt or a 1st round supplemental pick

My top two pitchers are lefties- looking to trade H Ryu (7.27) or C., Kershaw (7.99) for a RHP or starting player- will look at offers---

so we are not considering extending our prospects promotion timeline by one year due to the lost development time because of the pandemic?? this is something quite a few leagues have adopted as a one time consideration due to the unprecedented circumstances. it’s a little unfair to lose a 2019 prospect by cutting them or being forced to keep them on the forty man since there was no minor league season & this also goes for the 2020 prospects as well.

can we consider this as a league or have the commissioner weigh in on this??

Agree with Rick. Every league I've been in has extended the prospects an extra year.

This is a new one on me. It hasn't come up in any of the 3 KL's with prospects that I've drafted in so far this year.
But it would be OK. If you want to do this, when listing your promotions put "RAP" (Remaining a Prospect) after the prospects name.

I'll then add them to the 2020 Prospects on the .doc. Otherwise, list the promoted players as usual (without the acronym) and they will go on your 40 man roster.
