First off my apologies to the BOD and the members of the League for not making this announcement ahead of time.
As Expansion teams they were allowed to add onto their rosters any available Franchise Free Agents in the League, this is a one time shot due to the Draft only giving them an 18 player roster, which is 8 players short of a full 26 player roster.
Normally I would have did the research in advance and their spreadsheet roster would have reflected the franchise players before the Draft and such. Obviously with this all coming together at the last minute made it get overlooked and I should have informed the BOD and the league of this at the time of the expansion and before the draft.
No excuses and I prefer transparency to the league members before hand. Hopefully everyone understands that this wasn't intentional and I will not do it again.

What does this mean for league? Are you saying the 2 expansion teams can pick up FA’s now? If so does this negate current FA bidding? If so are we just wasting time? I have open roster spots to fill and the FA process is already tedious as is.

It was just their own franchise guys I.e. TB added Siri, Kittredge, etc. doesn’t effect current FA bidding so no worries.
Also, you’re all good Milt, I only commented on it because I had no idea what was going on. As soon as he said you told him to do that, I had pieced it together.

I have open roster spots to fill and the FA process is already tedious as is. Not at all, they were only allowed to add players from their MLB organization and it was just a one time deal. Most teams have 26+ players currently and the expansion teams only drafted 18 players which puts them at huge disadvantage in their match ups Normally with expansion the teams would get all the available players from their franchise not currently on a Cobra Franchise roster including MiLB players. Well that didn't happen due to the late start thanks to the 4 replacement GMs we had come in late in the off-season and my busy work schedule. Free Agency is separate from expansion, I don't think there was any TB or PIT players bid on? So no issues there? Hopefully that answered your question? Sent from my motorola edge using Tapatalk
