Options Part #1 (Read 1,219 times)

How many options can teams receive per year?

Needs A's and Indians to vote

Don't like either choice. I refrain

Not sure how big of a deal it is but why should a non-playoff team get to keep extra guys while a playoff team is penalized.

I agree with A's. I voted for 'minor' changes to our RFA/UFA process. These changes are major and I am not in favor of them.

I have read enough suggestions about having 'no change' that I would like to suggest we vote again on whether there should be changes. Because based on the options that we are voting, I would change my vote to no changes.

We won't see much movement on the next year since we will all franchise the one guy you want from our teams but the next season all 14 top or pretty good guys we've now kept an extra year are now ALL UFA and that could make for a very interesting offseason. Unfortunately this change doesn't do much for next offseason as we will have less to go around so maybe you make more deals to better team that way the relying on steal bids? Just a different view.

[Yankees]

In essence the top 14 expiring contracts in theory will NoT be available next offseason so how will that play out with less talent. Did we open pandora a box for 1 more season as RFA next offseason could be same or worse since less talent available . There's the opposite view lol

[Yankees]

And then when the franchise guys come off then it will even out?

[Deleted]

The only issue I ever expressed was that a player should not be $100. Not sure where the option years, etc is coming from.

Agree with A's...

[Yankees]

We discussed to really get rid of the steal bids you have to get rid of RFA.

[Yankees]

But I'd do no changes before I'd banish RFA

[toby]

Do not want to get rid of RFA....

We had requests for changes. Took recs for changes, and only considered changes passed with 8+ votes. Bobby and Justin can weigh in, but I think we are stuck with changes for at least one season.

I understand and respect your position but in truth the new change does not address any of the issues that people were complaining about ... instead it simply extends by a year how long a team can own a quality player. So be it.
