Winter Meetings 2024  March 4 - March 7          
All teams can talk trade this week and prepare for free agency. Trading will begin weekly during the trading period starting in free agency. Weekly trading rules apply with the last Thursday in period two (3/13/25 9pm) is the last day for trades in free agency. Trading will reopen at the start of the season. League Fees are due no later than 3/8/2025 for all teams.

Free Agency Period 2025:

The free agency period for the Hardball League will start on March 8 at 12:00 AM EST and last until March 15 at 6:00 PM EST.

Free Agency Bidding period will be as follows:
Periods: 1 & 2

1) From 3/8 at 12:00 AM until 3/12 at 11:59 PM
Stale bid is 3 days from last bid cast on a player.          

2) From 3/13 at 12:00 AM until 3/15 at 6:00 PM
Stale bid is 1 days from last bid cast on a player.          

Any bids made after Period two ends will have a 12 hour Stale time from the last bid made. No additional players can be added to the board after period 2 has ended.  Reminder, there are no cuts or trades allowed in the drafts.  Once free agency ends for your league, all rosters are locked so the drafts can begin and your rosters filled for all teams.

Bids must be a minimum of 1 and in minimum increments of .5.  You may start a bid at what you feel a player should be bid at as long as it  is equal to or greater  then 1.

See the rules for penalties for over bidding and restrictions on releasing players in free agency and in the Rookie/Free Agent draft


Bids should be posted like this:
Position and Player or Team Name  / Bid amount / Team making the bid
Examples:  SP Joe Mays / 7 FD's  / Executioners
                   1B Tony Clark / 5 FD's / Executioners

Once a player or team has been bid on, any further bids on that player or team should be done on the same thread. If you want to bid on a posted player or team, click on the bid and post a reply to the post.  Each post has the time and date listed. Every time a bid is made the time starts over again just like a new bid. Any Restricted Free Agents not bid on during the free agent period will become a unrestricted free agent and will be available for the FA/Rookie Draft. Once a bid has been placed on the board it is deemed official and will not be removed.

Draft order for Rookie/FA Draft 2025

Round 1

Round 2 

Round 3 

Round 4

We will have as many Rounds as needed to fill all rosters.

The draft order reflects the results from the 2024 season.  The rookie/free agent draft will take place in our live draft room. The Draft date will be set after the free agency period has started for the new season. We will have as many rounds as needed to fill each roster.  Some teams may not draft if they have already filled their roster in free agency.  (There will be no trading or cuts allowed in the draft) Once a teams roster is full, they will be done for the draft and will not be allowed pick again.

Trading will start week 1 of Free Agency. The date for the winter meetings will be posted after rosters lock for the 2024 season.  Trading will then lock until Free Agency starts.  Trading can then be made up during the weekly trading period during free agency. The final week of free agency is the final week of trading in the off season. Trades will not be allowed during the Rookie/Free Agent draft.  Also, although trading of draft picks are allowed during the trading periods, you may only trade draft picks for rounds 1, 2, and 3 only.  Trading will reopen the week prior to the season based on the weekly trading rules. The week prior to week 15 will be the last week of trading for the regular season.

A reminder on what can be traded:
Active roster players, FD's, Draft picks rounds 1, 2, and 3 for the 2025 Rookie Draft
(You cannot trade the rights to retain a player, only the previous owner can retain a player)

Trading of Future Draft Picks (You will only be allowed to trade a future draft pick if you are paid in full for that season.  If you are not paid in full for that season, please do not submit the trade as it will not be sent out for a vote)  This will be strictly enforced this year so if you want to trade future draft picks, you should pay for your future years prior to submitting that kind of trade.

Trading Submits:

All trade requests must be E-mailed to the Commissioner.  You must include your team name, player (s) being traded, Salaries of the players in the trade, team name that you are trading with, and the player (s) being acquired with their salaries.  Please include the salary of the players in the trade when submitting a trade or it will be sent back to you to resubmit. Trades must be submitted by both teams before the trade deadline each week. The trade deadline is week prior to week 15 games.  Rosters must be complete at all times and minimum positions requirements must be maintained. Once a trade is sent out for a vote by the commissioner, the trade is considered official and cannot be taken off the trade board until voted on.  The vote will determine the approval or disapproval. The salary of your team must never exceed the salary cap of 56 years.

After the 2025 Rookie/Free Agent draft has been completed, the rosters will be locked until the week prior to the start of the season. Trading will then open that week as well per our league rules.
