I haven't started roster approval yet because once I approve your roster, it becomes your official starting roster. That means you can no longer add or take away players that you may have forgotten about or changed your mind on. You may no longer add minor leaguers until our amateur draft in the summer. If you want to call up or send down a player after the roster is approved, you must do so by going through baseball operations or waivers.
However, once your roster is approved you may begin trading, so the sooner it is approved the better. So, once you're sure your roster is the way you want it to be, please make a post in reply to your roster simply saying "ready for approval" and I will get to it as soon as I can.

Roster approval has begun. Three teams have been approved already. Make sure you're posting when your roster is ready for approval so that I know when to approve it!
I'm adding a 48 hour grace period after roster approval during which you may request to make additional minor changes or corrections, with my approval. All requests for corrections should be submitted in the form of a PM (private message) to me and must be submitted within 48 hours of your roster becoming approved.
These are for minor changes only. I will not approve major re-workings of the roster, but if you want to add a few prospects you forgot, or perhaps one or two major leaguers, I will consider it. I most likely will not allow you to change your franchise player unless you have what I deem to be a very good reason.
Please note that this grace period does not apply to my own roster. Mine will remain locked.

Please note that if you make a trade, sign a free agent (not applicable now since free agency is not yet open, but it might matter later), or pick up a player on waivers (ditto), your grace period ends.

I know there are a couple of rosters that are ready for approval. I'm not gonna get to them tonight, but I'll make sure to look them over tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to discuss trades with people and post them once your roster is approved.

Remember, in order to be eligible to bid on free agents you must have an approved roster. In order to guarantee that your roster will be approved by the start of free agency, it must be submitted no later than MIDNIGHT TONIGHT (Eastern Time). If your roster is not submitted for approval by midnight tonight, I can not guarantee you will be able to bid on free agents when free agency begins.
Teams currently without an approved roster are:
Seattle Mariners
Oakland Athletics
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Atlanta Braves
Florida Marlins
BaltimoreOrioles
