For the guys still in this, I think some clarification is needed by a Commissioner


pro-gm.proboards.com/thread/5059/free-agency-bidding-procedures


"In real life, premium free agents typically sign multi-year deals. It's difficult to sign a premium free agent to a one or two year deal. In our league, we simulate this difficulty by applying penalties on expensive short contracts. Basically, in order to sign a premium free agent to a short contract, it's going to cost you extra. On one-year contracts that exceed $10 million, 50% of the amount by which the offer exceeds $10 million will be added to the offer after the completion of the bidding.

A one year, $11 million offer becomes $11.5 million ($11 million exceeds $10 million by $1 million, 50% of $1 million = $0.5 million).
A one year, $15 million offer becomes $17.5 million ($2.5 million penalty, which is 50% of $5 million)
A one year, $20 million offer becomes $25 million ($5 million penalty, which is 50% of $10 million)

Likewise, two year offers exceeding $20 million per year receive a penalty of 50% of the amount by which the offer exceeds $20 million.
(Two years, $25 million per year becomes $27.5 million per year).

This penalty is added after the bidding is complete but before other discounts are calculated and applied - to beat this bid, another GM need only beat the offered raw annual value, not the amount after the penalty is added."

The rule for the bidding process does not cover 3 years over 30 million AAV and 4 years over 40 million AAV, I realize both situations are rare or would be rare.

Are we now in a tax zone for this player?

[Oren (Diamondbacks GM)]

I'm not a commish but I know ilwhen we decided the rule it only was for 1-2 year contracts

[Ben (Rays GM)]

Taxes only apply to one and two year contracts. Thanks for checking though David!
