Jason Bay UFA (Read 79 times)

[joecap]

Pirates RFA.

I'm re-adding him in this section now because I don't see him here at all, but I placed him here in December.

[Bobby]

I did a search of the Pirates last 50 posts and Jason Bay does not appear among the RFAs the Pirates posted on Dec 14 or anywhere else in the log.

Therefore he must be considered an UFA. Sorry.

[joecap]

The rules do not state what to do for an RFA who did not get posted in a position/category. It's ambigious.

Here's an excerpt from the Rules Constitution:

A specific time will be posted each year as the deadline for posting your RFAs in a bidding slot. The deadline will normally be set in the early part of January.

The Rules do NOT state what is to happen in such a scenario. And, I did list Bay as an RFA on my roster.

[Bobby]

Going with history. They become UFAs. We've had abandoned players posted on a roster, it doesn't change anything.

[joecap]

History of what? There is no definition of consequences for an RFA not being posted.

[Deleted]

Must be posted, is clearly defined

In the past players have been made ufa, I lost a player in this fashion year two, I believe Indians did as well

I won mine back in ufa

Just like Humber for me last season, a gray area for sure

But I'd just bid in ufa

[joecap]

I do recall the Humber issue.

The rule does mention about bidding spot which Bay was not in by the posted deadline which has obviously passed.

So I accept the ruling and but think the Rule should be updated to include the consequence.
