Last year of pre-arb contract so no penalty.

This had to have been an Arbitration contract. No cap hit. Still an offseason non-tender.

San Francisco Astros (Mario): Wanted post for the record that several of my bids have been invalidated, I believe incorrectly. Based on my pre-Free Agency drops, I have $21M of cap space available, and the additional grace of $10M (which I don't believe I need). I've reached out 2 Drew Mar 21, 2023 18:43:20 GMT -5

San Francisco Astros (Mario): Did we lose the chance to make February minors claims because of how slow we drafted? Mar 1, 2021 13:37:56 GMT -5

San Francisco Astros (Mario): Looking to acquire some starting pitching. I've got lots and lots of thumpers. Vogelbach, Correa, Springer, Dahl, Mancini and Santana are all available. Apr 12, 2019 12:03:04 GMT -5

Commish Emeritus (Scott): Let's discuss bidding changes to make things more fair! Sorry I never see there Shoutbox chat messages. They don't show up on the mobile site. Mar 18, 2019 11:55:41 GMT -5

Miami Rays (Michael): Yes. The 4-year deal could have been restructured to 3 at 11 per to win the player. If we all understand the rules, it’s fine to do it by AAV. Feb 23, 2019 21:13:23 GMT -5

Commish Emeritus (Scott): Should a 1 year, $10M deal beat a 4 year, $36M (AAS $9M) deal? Maybe, maybe not. But how are we to change things to keep it simple and make it less work for the Commish office? As it is we're constantly monitoring offers, invalidities, etc. Feb 22, 2019 15:27:13 GMT -5

Commish Emeritus (Scott): Jason, that's just the way the rules have always been. We use AAS as the guiding factor to keep the process as simple as possible. Feb 22, 2019 15:24:43 GMT -5

Deleted: The Average Annual salary trumps all bids. Feb 20, 2019 21:08:14 GMT -5

Commish Emeritus (Scott): Guys, we CANNOT edit posts. If you make a mistake, or have an invalid offer for whatever reason, no big deal. Do not edit your post. Please repost a new one. And yes, the timestamp has to start over. Thank you. Feb 12, 2019 22:56:16 GMT -5

Cleveland Braves (Drew): RFA is open! I have posted in Kimbrel and Kluber if anyone needs an example. Feb 12, 2019 17:36:31 GMT -5

Commish Emeritus (Scott): It's open bidding on the board for RFA and UFA now in the offseason. It's blind bidding via email in season. We'll open RFA this Tuesday night. Feb 11, 2019 21:51:03 GMT -5

San Francisco Astros (Mario): Oh wow, didn't realize it was open bidding. Thought they were blind bids. When's the deadline? Feb 11, 2019 18:07:33 GMT -5

Miami Rays (Michael): Half the teams need to drop minor leaguers and clean up their rosters before we can proceed! Feb 5, 2019 10:48:51 GMT -5

Cleveland Braves (Drew): Mario, let's say put it in the promotions/demotions if you are picking it up, and the releases if you are declining it. Jan 30, 2019 17:20:41 GMT -5

San Francisco Astros (Mario): In what thread do we decline/pick up players' options? Jan 30, 2019 12:41:24 GMT -5
