Once the initial MLB and Minor League Drafts are over, you guys can start assigning contract years to your players. The rules involving contracts are below if you have any questions just reply to this post with your question.
The deadline for contracts to be finished will be determined at a later date.
This is how it should look on your roster page:
Player A………..Salary……. # of years… what years
Dustin Pedroia / 10,000,000 / (2/2) years / [2014-2015]
When you trade for a Player you also trade for his contract. If a team completed a trade to get them Dustin Pedroia then they can’t change the number of years of his contract. He’s with the new team until 2015, until after the 2015 season when they can use an extension on him.
Once the deadline passes I’ll be locking all rosters so nobody can change the years of their players throughout the year. So I advise you to make 2 roster pages, One I’ll lock and the other won’t be locked so you can edit it after making trades and signing free agents.
Also just so everybody is clear If you sign a player to a 4 year contract, next year when he only has 3 years left, 4 years will still count against your Years cap. The only way to subtract years from the cap is to drop a player or to let their contract run out and not re-sign them. So for example, once that player’s 4 year contract runs out and I don’t extend him (let’s say my Years cap is at 68 out of 75) then my years cap will be 64.

5.) Contracts:
A. Every team must have contracts for their roster, each player gets a contract just like in real life, The max of total years is 75, you cannot go over that any team that is over that amount of years will have a penalty of 500K a year towards there cap, Also the most years a player can have is 4.
B. Any prospect doesnt have a salary until he is called up by your team on here.
C. Every team must sign their players to a contract, or in other words, a year length in which they hold the rights to them.
D. You cannot sign a player for longer than 4 years. You may distribute up to 75 years among your roster. All minor league players who have been called up in the TPDL at any time must be signed to a contract. Other Minor Leaguers do not until they reach the Majors in this league. Because of this, it is advised you stay under the 75 year cap by a year or two.
E. When the last year of a player's contract ends, he becomes a un-restricted free agent. This means every team is open to bidding on this player.
F. You can have 2 players (per year) that you can sign to an extenstion so they dont have to become a free agent and you can lose them but it can only be 2 players, meaning if a player comes down to its last year of its contract you can choose to sign him to an extenstion but you can only do it for 2 players a year.
G. All remaining players become unrestricted free agents. The league then follows the Free Agent Auction process.
