A quick refresher of our league's FA rulings language from the Constitution. I had to go to Tiebreaker #2 in the case of Edinson Volquez and Alfredo Simon.
In the rare event two bids have the same average annual salary, below are the tie-breakers that will be utilized in determining which team will win the right to sign a player. Only proceed to the second tie-breaker in cases where the first tie-breaker ends in a tie.
Tie-Breaker #1:
If the average annual salary for two contract offers is the same, then the GM who offered the contract with the most number of years shall win the right to sign the player.
Tie-Breaker #2:
The only way this second tie-breaker can be utilized is if there are two contract offers with the same average annual salary over the life of the contract AND the two contract offers are to pay the player over the same period of time. In this particular case, the tie-breaker will go to the GM who made their offer FIRST.
Colorado Rays sign:
Travis Ishikawa 1B PIT, 1 year, $750K
AAS $750K
Edinson Volquez P PIT, 1 year, $1.1M
AAS $1.1M
Alfredo Simon P CIN, 1 year, $1.1M
AAS $1.1M
Pittsburgh Orioles sign:
Danny Duffy P KC, 3 years, $1.5M (AAS $500K)
14-16: $500K
Boston Padres sign:
Aaron Harang P ATL, 1 year, $2.05M
AAS $2.05M
Kevin Kouzmanoff 3B TEX, 1 year, $651K
AAS $651K
Brett Cecil P TOR, 1 year, $935K
AAS $935K
Adam Ottavino P COL, 1 year, $565K
AAS $565K
Boston Padres will be demoting Gonzalez Germen to Minors and releasing at least a couple other players to make room for these signings. Moves will be posted in Boston Padres' Roster Moves.
**PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL ROSTERS ARE UPDATED ON PROBOARDS - FOR PLAYERS AND TEAM SALARIES. THEY SHOULD MATCH YOUR FANTRAX ROSTER. THANKS!
