I have no idea how many league managers are returning this season. Who knows.
That being said, I wonder if we play this year out the best we can. I try and replace managers who don’t return either this year or next.
Because of the shortened season and possible lack of managers interest, my thinking is that contracts should be extended another year. For example, Ronald Acuna or Christian Yellich has 4 years left on their contracts this year. I don’t think we should count this shortened year as a contract year. Let’s begin the contract lengths next year. So at the start of the 2020/2021 season both players have 4 years left, etc. etc.
Thoughts on this?

Agreed. Let’s play it out for the enjoyment but contract shouldn’t index this season in my opinion. This will basically be a mulligan year.

I agree. My concern is that a fair amount of managers in this league won’t get into this years activities and or may not return next year. It might be like a re-boot next year.
On the other hand. This league is mirrored after another league running 6 years. In that league with the same rules, this discussion has been resolved. The powers in that league feel that if 60 games are played, it should count as a full season (concerning contracts). A champ will be crowned and one year comes off existing contracts.
Also in that league there are managers with players that are under terrible contracts. Some at $20 next year, one at $33, They would love to eliminate those hefty contracts by playing the year out. We have no such contracts to deal with. A major difference in basically the same league.

Maybe not a bad thing if you get to weed a few out before a full season starts?

I will try for sure. The good thing about Proboards is you can see each persons activity (last time online). With a week before the season starts if anyone hasn’t signed in yet, I replace. I have each managers email address as well. I will do my best to start this limited season with as close to 20 managers as possible.

I think the years SHOULD count, but if everyone says they shouldn't... then maybe we should get like 2 free buyouts one one year deals. The purpose of a one year deal is to free space for the following season. As MLB plays, new players breakout, come up from the... "minors" lol and bust.. I don't think we should be committed to players we gave one year (and even two year) deals to.

Why not, for this first year, allow 1-5 year deals instead of 1-4 year deals.

I want to hear everyone’s opinion. All sports are messed up right now. If this is a mulligan year, (do over) then next year begins with all teams having the same salary cap. Whether you finished first or last each team will have the same salary cap next year.
My concern and I think it’s real, what happens during this season when two teammates become positive with the virus. How many other players get quarantined? It’s possible teams get depleted to a point where they pull the plug on the entire league. It just becomes a joke.
If the season plays out and a World Series Champ is crowned then I am inclined to count this years contracts. If a World Series Champ is not crowned then I am inclined to have a do over or mulligan and start contracts next year. It’s a no win either way we go.
I need to make a final decision very soon.

What I suggest is: - Allow 1-5 year contracts for this first year - Keep the salary caps the same for all teams for next year, regardless of finish

My strong opinion at this point is to play out the season, crown a Champion, adjust salary caps for next year based on final standings, with the prospect draft next year based on final standings.
Yankees post above make a good point about I year contracts. (Please read). With that being said, next year, each manager may have up to 2 free contract buyouts, regardless of length. New managers next year will not receive their one free contract buyout for being a new manager.
I will replace managers as best I can who fail to return. This may be difficult as many leagues, I fear, will have more than normal team vacancies.
To make sure all unowned teams are managed somewhat, I feel it fair that I set each unowned teams lineup once a week on Monday. Move a IL player to the bench and replace him with an active player. I don’t want unowned teams to suffer too much.
I think it’s possible the MLB season may not be completed due to the virus. In that event, if the regular MLB season is suspended, and the full regular season isn’t completed, then next year will start fresh, standings won’t count, prospect draft will be random, salary caps will return to $160 for all teams. It will be like we never played. .
What do you think, not law yet, lol.
