To be clear, what happens if no one bids on an RFA? Are they awarded to the original team on a 1 year 1 mil contract?

I already posted my RFA, Longoria and Melancon, months ago in the RFA thread. Those posts are all cleaned out now for some reason. Do those posts still count? Are we supposed to post RFA here or into the now empty RFA thread?
Either way, my RFA are Longoria and Melancon.

Whatever you bid on your RFA, if no one else bids in 24 hours, you win the bid. Probably a bigger disincentive to bid since we are getting a teams actual draft pick rather than a sandwich pick. If you don't bid on your own RFA and nobody else does, the player remains a free agent. If you dont bid on your own RFA and someone signs him for more than 6m, you are getting a draft pick. |

Why would I bid on my own RFA? I thought you let the other people bid, and then you either accept that contract or decline it and the player goes to the highest bidder. So bidding on my own RFA would just raise the price

So bidding on my own RFA would just raise the price Nothing in the rules prevent you from starting the bidding on your own RFA. And of course you would want to bid against others. The only consideration is how much you want to pay to re-sign the player, and that is up to you. There could even be the legit strategy of starting the bidding yourself above 6m, so that anyone bidding will need to put a draft pick in play. To somehow think the RFA bid process excludes the team tagging the RFA is a serious misunderstanding. That would make no sense in any baseball universe. |
