Trade Announced

Trading Deadline and Roster Expansion

The Commissioner wanted to remind everyone that the trade deadline for our league is August 31st. If you are working on a trade and want to get it in for this season, please submit it to the Commissioner before midnight on Sunday August 31st.

Secondly, roster expansion starts Monday, September 1st at 7AM. I have included the rules for roster expansion here, let me know if you have any questions about it.

XIII. SEPTEMBER ROSTER EXPANSION
If it chooses, a team may expand its roster for the pennant drive by calling up one additional player after September 1 from the free agent pool, its own reserve list, or its own farm system.

If the player to be added is already part of your roster this will be treated as a regular move. If the player to be acquired is unowned the players' salary will be $.25.

The order in which players may be acquired will be as follows:
September 1: Players may be acquired starting this date from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. During this time the lowest team in the standings wishing to acquire an unowned player will receive that player if a conflict arises.
September 2 on: After 10:00 a.m. Sept. 1 player acquisition will once again be first come, first served.

Please Note: Players called up from your minors after Sept. 1 do not NEED to be activated.
