Winter Meetings rules Discussions (Read 177 times)

Do we have anything we want to chat about?

Poll for postseason tiebreaker category is up on cbs. Please vote .

One rule I think we can discuss. The 72 hour rule you need to keep a 1/$1 guy. I feel 24 or 48 is just fine. Purpose is to make a team create a spot for a cleared guy for most part. Whether it’s 24 or 72 team still has to commit a move. I see no reason we can’t shorten it. Anyone care to cut that time frame or argue to keep it the same?

Any other discussion points?

The issue was people clearing big contracts quickly...partner up with someone and you can clear everything in a short period of time. The 72 hours prevents this quite a bit.

[Yankees]

So the length is the deterrent more than having to make a roster move of some kind? Or both?

[Bobby]

The 72 hour length was and is important.

[Yankees]

Yeah makes sense when thought more about it. No reason to mess with it. Just seemed excessive at first.
