Post your thoughts on the bidding process and policies here now that we are in it and able to see it clearly.

I would suggest raising the maximum bid. One million at a time slows down the process quite a bit for the top players.

It's not fair If I get on say at 3:30am and move the bid from 5 mil to 10 mil without anyone getting a chance to bid. It becomes first come first serve, and takes away from strategies of owners. |

I also think the max bid increase should stay at 1m. But I wouldnt mind allowing a larger opening bid.

If I’m going to bid 10 million then why wait ? The slow bidding makes it easier to manage the cap but the drawback Is a lot of time is spent just getting to a players actual true value. It took 5 days to get to a reasonable bid for Boegarts. It really just comes to preference.
I’m in leagues that bid both ways. They all end up the same and are equally fair. I just prefer for things to move quicker but if the rest of the league prefers the slower approach nothing wrong with that either.
The idea mentioned above to just raise the starting bid could help also.

As we continue this discussion, here are a few areas we might want to consider:
1. Min/max opening bid
2. Min/max increase
3. Match and contract clock length
4. Min/max contract length (should higher priced players require longer terms?)

My opinions -
1. no max opening bid. If you want to risk over bidding on a guy be my guest. Min opening bid stay 300k.
2. Min bid increase stay 100k. Max increase I'm fine with keeping at 1m. I wouldn't want to do more than 2m.
3. I think the match/contract clocks should start when bidding has ended, not when the Commish posts. Yes, it makes things a little more complicated for the Commish, but it also holds people accountable to keep up with their own activities. And I think 24 hours should be the clock.
4. Contract lengths. I think its a rule that anyone over 10m must have a multiple year deal. Im good with that. I think the option contracts rule needs to be looked at. There may be some verbage saying you are only allowed to have X amount on your roster, and only give out 2 per season. I like the 2 per season rule, but I dont think there should be a rule on how many are on your roster. So you can trade for guys on option contracts and not worry about any roster violations.

Can we go back to having one FA board? Having 4 that we need to check is silly and I think contributes to people not seeing auctions. When we are working on pitchers it's easy to slip a 3b like Jake Alu by at $300k 2026

Can we go back to having one FA board? Having 4 that we need to check is silly and I think contributes to people not seeing auctions. When we are working on pitchers it's easy to slip a 3b like Jake Alu by at $300k 2026 We can certainly discuss anything. I set the boards up as they are because I wanted the matching players to have their own board. It gets disorganized when matching guys bleed over into the other weeks when everyone is jumbled together. Once I decided to do that, I just did every week separately. Either way, there are things that we can do to avoid problems. First and foremost, most every owner has been on pretty much daily since free agency began. When we get on, the threads and boards that have new postings in them are noted. It's good practice to check those out so as not to miss out on anything (including any messages I might be trying to get out to everyone  ). We can also decide that all new players introduced must be put in the current board. That's not really a problem as any players not brought up during their 'official' week are still eligible, but keeping them in the current board could help with the issue you raise. Finally, there were multiple players introduced in previous boards after their position weeks had passed. Some had multiple bids so it doesn't seem that owners had lots of difficulty finding guys who were on the clock if they were interested. |

I just mentioned that player as an example. That particular player also had a question raised about the availability so the time stamp got out of sorts with the question and answer. That made it easier to miss. I will just say in my opinion, having 4 boards for free agency is not helpful. If you want to have one for matching and one for others I guess that would be ok. But really I don't see how having matching be in the same board as regular FA is any more confusing than our current set up. If you expect GM's to check on 4 boards certainly we are capable of looking at one and understanding what we are looking at.

Min/max contract length (should higher priced players require longer terms?) 1. I like the current rules for min/max opening bids and don't see a reason to change anything. 2. After a certain contract size (8-10M) I think we should increase the amount needed to out bid the current offer. Even if its just to 200k-300k, I think it would make a big difference. Full disclosure, in another league I had a lot of cap space and was getting very frustrated at having my 13M bids raised to 13.1 at the 23rd hour, so maybe this is just a me problem. 3. I don't mind the 24 hour clock, especially because that's the amount of time you have to still raise other bids, but I wouldn't be totally against increasing it to 48 hr. 4. I think it's probably a good idea to add something that caps the amount you can offer a on 1 year contract and anything more than that has to be a minimum of 2 years. Again maybe something like 8-10M |

an idea. Aso another league I am in does it this way
5M or more. Must have at minimum 2 yr contract
10M or more. Minumum 3 yr contract
15M or more 5 yr minimum contract.
I agree that higher priced players need to have longer guarenteed contracts
