2017 UFA CI's and MI's Results

[Brewers GM (Brad)]

Let me know if there are any mistakes. If you think you should have won this or that player, please take a look at our rules on bidding as a first step before questioning the decision. There were a handful of consequential illegal bids this week.

Dodgers

Jed Lowrie 3y 1.5M 0.5M per year

Astros

Marwin Gonzalez - 1 year $0.5M

Brewers

Jae Gyun Hwang - CI SFG - 2yr/$4.2M. $2.1M AAS evenly spread

Orioles

Steve Pearce 1y 4.1m

Rays

Cubs

Nationals

A.Lind Was 1 yr $4M

[Padres GM (Saul)]

From Rule 5: Free Agency Basics & Rule 6: Free Agency Process and Bidding, bold type in the original...

"The minimum increment for a bid is $100,000. Bids that include any denomination lower than 100k (i.e. 50K, 10k, 1k, 100, 10 etc.) will be considered invalid and will not count."

I have done the same thing, at least twice by my memory. I have been very lenient with GMs so far on bid procedures but I have never let that one slide and it would be unfair of me to start now.
