Free Agent Bids and Waiver Claims

Trade Deadline

The CFCL trade deadline is Noon on Sunday August 1.  This is 21 hours after the MLB interleague trade deadline (3:00 PM Central on Saturday July 31). 

All CFCL trades must be reported, along with all corresponding moves, by Noon next Sunday.  The “all corresponding moves” part means that if you make trades on Sunday you must:  1) be under the salary cap ($3.50), 2) have 23 active players that fit the position requirements, and 3) have no more than 17 players on your Reserve List.

IFAB Day

Sunday August 1 is also IFAB (Interleague Free Agent Bidding) Day.  All players who come to the NL between now and Sunday will be eligible for bidding (assuming they all make it onto the TQS Free Agent list).  Remember, bidding is not limited to players who just came over in trades.  Players who are currently in the free agent pool are also eligible for bidding on IFAB Day.

The deadline for IFAB Day bids is 4:00 PM Central on Sunday August 1.  Note that this is 4 hours after the CFCL trade deadline – this will give everyone a chance who made trades on Sunday morning a chance to calculate room remaining under the salary cap, etc.

If I get the chance, I will publish current salary levels and FAAB balances for all teams on the website on Friday or Saturday.  If you want to be proactive, check the Excel rosters in the Download Center to make sure what I have down as your FAAB balance matches what you think it is.  Remember, you can hover your cursor over the cell that contains your FAAB balance and a list will display showing all the free agents you’ve acquired during the year and what you paid for them.

Topper Watch

In 2005, the teams that finished in 5^th-12^th place in 2004 will receive a budget of up to .06 to use toward reacquiring players who had played out their option with the team (B-contract players). The exact amount each team receives will be based on how far behind the 5^th place team they are at the end of the year, in terms of a percentage of the 5^th place team's point total.

Based on the standings through last Thursday, here are the teams that would receive Topper Budgets for use in the 2005 Draft and the amount each team would receive:
