2023 Week 0 Unrestricted Free Agency All Positions

[AstrosGM (Matt P)]

Opens Sunday March 19th.

So Signing Bonus bids are legal this year during In-Season free agent bidding. However, we set two stipulations in the rules so as not to dilute the talent available in our All-Star break spec bidding period...

From Rule 6: Free Agent Process and Bidding

In Season Amendment: Beginning with the 2018 regular season, unowned players under the 50/150 thresholds will be eligible for bidding as long as they were on a real life MLB roster 1) the previous Friday and 2) at the time of nomination. Bids will be placed using the same Signing Bonus structure (see Rule 8. Prospects and Signings - PROSPECT ACQUISITION) used in our annual prospect bidding period.

I've underlined and italicized the relevant part of the rule. In order to satisfy these two stipulations, SB bids really won't be possible until the second week of the MLB season.

In other words, no SB bids this week.

Okay understand. Just curious of 150 when MLB is 130 for rookie hitter limits. Maybe it changed recently. No problem either way.

[AstrosGM (Matt P)]

It's always been 150 in our dynasty leagues. It's never really been tied to MLB.
