Padres bid league minimum. Alzolay currently appears on Pirates IL - has been over 72 hours since the MLB Cubs activated him (last Saturday) - no announcement made bringing him to active roster (nor was an announcement made placing him on IL). Under the rules this is a legal bid.

This bid is being halted as the pirates seem to be an inactive franchise.
Once the bod figures out what to do we will announce here. Thank you.

The BoD modifying the rules? This has been a clearly applied rule during my 10 years in the league.
If the franchise had issues - the call should have been made before the legal bid, not after.

I wasn't aware pirates was inactive. Your bid alerted me of that.
Rules aren't being modified, no, but we are worried about the leagues balance of play.

I authored this in March 2017: See point 4.
Free agents can be accessed from: (1) Yahoo free agent listing who do not meet the NA/Minors criteria, (2) players on the Yahoo free agent listing who are above the NA /Minors criteria but continue to be listed as an NA on the Yahoo listing, (3) players on a team's NA protected list who exceed the NA/Minors listing criteria, and (4) players anywhere in the league who were on the 15 or 60 day DL who came off the DL and where not added to the parent team's roster within a 72 hour period .

Padres are a 15th place team - whose balance of play might you be referencing? Hardly a threat to league balance.
If the Pirates were declared inactive prior to the bid - different story - bid should then not be allowed.

And sometimes, in the example of jd davis yesterday, we give teams a break in those rules. You did not complain that we gave the blue Jays, the last place team, a break. You are complaining now because it impacts you. You too have been given a break on the rules.
Aloazay is a marginal player, but the bigger issue is that the pirates is inactive and not able to make roster moves.
I stand by my post.

Illogical. ( quoting Mr. Spock)
One gets stopped by the police and told that not having a full sized spare is illegal yet there is no law against it. After the citation is issued the law gets passed and one is after the fact held accountable. Suppose an objective court might rule otherwise?
Not knowing a franchise is inactive is not a reason to overturn a long standing written rule.
Milt might better understand the basis of the original rule?

It's a team that was owned by a rookie manager. Even if she were to be active she would have gotten the same break the Jays received.
You aren't going to win this one. Pick another hill to die on.

I'm actually more shocked that you are arguing against giving an inactive team a break. Normally you're all for that. Must be because you're impacted..

The remainder of the quote (from 2017):
be prepared for a significant argument on this one).
Was I right or what?! Lol

Has the BoD made its final decision?

Alozay will be returned to the pirates and the bod will assume control of the franchise until an owner is found.
If anyone had any leads on a replacement, much appreciated.

Just wondering out loud here but how "inactive" is she?
Obviously unsure if she has been managing her team on a daily basis, I'm sure Kris can figure that out, but I have been messaging with her about a trade we have been working on. I sent a message to her today and it was marked as "seen" by her in Yahoo messenger.
At least she is around...

She's been inactive since may. She informed the bod yesterday she is not interested in the league.
