Post your franchise tagged players here. Each team my Franchise Tag one pending free agent. If that player, on his expiring contract, had an AAS (Average Annual Salary) of less than $15M/year, then the Franchise tag will be at $15M/year. If a player had an AAS of $15M or greater, then the Franchise Tag will be at an amount of 120% of that AAS. For example, if Mike Trout is an impending free agent whose expiring contract was at an AAS of $30M, then the Franchise Tag would have to be at an AAS of 120% of $30M, or $36M (Amendment during 2018-2019 offseason). Please note the number of years for your tag, between 1 and 5. Unlike RFA, a pending free agent may not be traded and then tagged as a Franchise player.

Deleted: Looking at the Master Spreadsheet, I do not see the buyout that should be attached to Votto's salary for 2025. I still own him on his original salary from the beginning of the league which used his real life salary that included a buyout for the last year Dec 14, 2021 19:33:30 GMT -5

Deleted: So, I have Votto who had a Club Option buyout for 2024, but because of the 2020 season that can no longer be the case. Does that just move my club option and buyout for him to 2025? Mar 14, 2021 18:20:30 GMT -5

Drew (Chicago Blue Jays): Hey Eric, I don't think there is anything open at the moment, but Brodie is looking for a co-owner for the Pitt Orioles. Can y'all connect and see if your fried would be a good fit there? Jan 12, 2020 18:35:29 GMT -5
