Rules & Regulations
FACE OF FRANCHISE PLAYERS
         All players drafted in the Face of Franchise Auction can not be either demoted to Triple A or released into Free Agency. Once a player is drafted as a Face of Franchise player he must remain on the MLB roster of the team who drafted him.  However, if this player is traded to another team, that player loses his Face of Franchise restriction and can be either dropped or demoted as the new manager pleases.

APPENDIX (added 05.15.2007)No longer does the last sentence preceeding this appendix apply.  With the addition of the Yearly Face of Franchise Auction (See: Finer Points of the Yearly Draft) once a player has the Face of Franchise tag given to him he has all of the restrictions that go along with this.  Therefore, no longer will trading a player from one team to another remove the Face of Franchise tag.
