IP per week is back to the League standard of 30 was before the Covid 19 pandemic.
Roster size is back to pre-pandemic size of 26 players, 10 NA/Minors Eligible, 10 DL and a non Yahoo unlimited 60-Day DL. A 60-Day DL designation is as listed on Yahoo or if noted as Out for Season via MLB or other noted reliable websites. With the reduction from 28 to 26 I am giving all teams 2 Free Blue Roster Cuts before the start of the Yahoo Fantasy (MLB)season. Afterwards any Blue Guaranteed Contract will remain on your teams books for it's duration of signing. . During the League season (starts 3/30/2023) we will have a Free Agent signing option of 1 year or 3 years. All 1 year signing are after 3/30/2023 and before 9/1/2023 and they are League declared Free Agents after the Yahoo season has concluded, will be noted on spreadsheet per Bold Blue FA signed contracts as well as in singed Notes. Commissioner will be noting these on spreadsheet
Trades will be Commissioner decision, will not be a BOD vote (takes to long at times) but the BOD will be able to communicate their thoughts within the 24 hours after a trade has been agreed on, Commissioner welcomes their input. No more delays on Trades due to delays with the BOD discussions of such deals. We will speed this up going forward.
Minors Protected is 20 for this season, will drop to 14 starting with the 2024 season. All teams must comply, as Franchise Minors are Organizational owned this should not be an issue unless you have franchise players that get traded, With 26 player rosters and 14 Minors Protected that makes for a Cobra 40 player roster all year long, much like MLB does.

Here we go again.
Why is the BOD being dismantled and having power stripped away from it? I think the league needs an explanation. Im all for change when it makes sense and clearly explained.
I will agree the BOD did delay trades (maybe about a third of delays I'll take direct responsibility for via posting late for votes) but the other two thirds were likely due to delays in voting.
That said why are we not working with the bod go fix this instead of going back to the commish system? Do we forget why we moved away from commish voting to begin with?
Does the bod have any idea you're stripping away powers before you're even posting? Are they in the dark until seeing this post?
I think youre gonna need a PR staff this year. Going to be a brutal year for you milt.

The BOD is not being dismantled, as was noted in the post we are streamlining the process on trades, last season showed the system was not working good. This is a Free game we all play for the love of the game, but we also all have real lives that at times that takes away from league being run as efficient as it does most of the time. We don't need to micromanage this league and at times I think this is what has been happening to much as we the board attempt to force teams to bend to our will. We all are adults that can run our teams as we see fit. With that being said the design of the BOD was intended to help the commissioner run the league with ideas on approvements for the league as well as help out with the spreadsheet and such as needed. That's not changing, just BOD voting decisions for trades. Their thoughts are always welcome, but this needs to be speed up like the real world. The BOD's issues have hurt the league with GMs wanting less League control of the reigns so they can play the game, enjoy the fun and challenges I believe and so we are going back in a different direction with the promise to be much more fun with the freedom to manage teams and again enjoy the game.

I still have issues with all of this.
The reason we stayed at 28 last year was because of real mlb rules that allowed 28 rostered players after Sept 1. Yaho doesn't allow for changing positions during the year and enforcing 26 when yahoo allows 28 isn't feasible.
Are we simply ignoring that now? I feel like milt is just changing rules to change them.
Even considering dropping to 14 prospects in 2024 in short sighted given the 28 man September roster rule.

Also, I have problems with commish pushing trades solely on the fact the commish is impossible to get a hold of.
He seems to see proboards, but doesn't respond to messages on other sites (discord, Facebook, etc.)

I was new last year. I had tried to build my roster construction with the rules of 28 man team and 20 prospects. Now the rules have changed without a league vote? I tried to build a team and now I am trying to dismantle a team to meet the new guidelines? From my outside prospective the new rules seem very knee jerk and I imagine majority of league would disagree of the roster changes. I would agree trades did take longer for approval then other leagues, Just my thoughts, 26 player roster is MLB standard until September, and we were always at MLB standard until last season and that was added due to the Pandemic issues in MLB. 20 Prospects plus 26 player rosters are way over the 40 man roster, hence the reduction next season. With Orgsnizational player rights you have some protection for Franchise and with the League currently at 18 teams )once I find the right person) the Free Agent pool has more options but with the MLB Rookie Drafts each year it thins out the Pool for Free Agents, especially the non League Top prospects which in turn makes it hard for teams to build good depth with a poor MLB Minor League organixational wise. That's not good for long term competitive balance. With inseason Free now having the option ofsigning a player for one year and not having their payroll locked up for most likely a player a team signs due to long term injuries on the roster. I'm in other Salary Cap Leagues with the option of signing players from 1 to 5 years and true Free agency every year. Much more like real baseball, quiet fun, challenging as well as giving all teams a chance to be competive more often. They also have buyouts for players with gives you a chance to add players as needed due to injuries and such. So these changes are well thought out and definitely not a knee jerk recation just to make changes. Also with the 2 Free Blue player cuts you have a chance to get out of a bad contract and get it off your team's books now and not on your payroll though 2024 possibly? As for a League vote, that's not an option that has worked out in the past, we've never been able to get all teams to vote let alone half or the League. In the future we may try a league vote for changes for the following season that way maybe, just maybe all GMs will vote? But a 40 man roster works in MLB, and so it will in here as well. With the limits for Rookies all teams can manage their prospects up to before they reach the limits and can always trade players before the limits too. Plenty of player options in Free Agency are needed, the last few years thanks to Covid-19 and MLB the IL has been a constant landing spot these last few years. There has to be some talent hitting the market each season, not most of what's been out there the last few seasons. I'm always open to ideas from any GM, by all means hit me up with ideas and we can discuss them.

He seems to see proboards, but doesn't respond to messages on other sites (discord, Facebook, etc.) I'm available on both sites throughout the day, so that's not the issue. When I'm working I don't always have the time to chat or respond to most messages that I don;t feel need an immediate reply either.

I feel like milt is just changing rules to change them. Even considering dropping to 14 prospects in 2024 in short sighted given the 28 man September roster rule. We can & will add two bench spots September 1st. As I've said concerning the MiLB players, MLB has a 40 man roster and so did we and are once again going to establish it. Free Agency player pool is a joke with the Rookie Draft, 28 player rosters and thanks to 20 player Minor Protected rosters. All teams need a chance to vompetitive and the Cap is more than ample enough for teams. This is Adynasty League and management can keep any player for as long as they want as long as they make things work for their Cap. Right now I don't see this handicapping any team. The Top teams are stacked, the bottm teams are not, their needs to be some competive balance to keep GMs interested in the League. I'm thinking long term blance here, not just for the winning teams, but the League as a whole.
