When is the plan for the Fantrax site to be up and invitations sent?

Is that a serious question? If you're in this league, you've already joined and paid on Fantrax...

I was re-reading through these questions, and had a question myself regarding trading of cap space. I agree that trading cap space could be detrimental to the league. But what about the idea of trading salary coverage? I've been in a couple of leagues that allow that and I don't see any downsides. They both only allowed for a team to cover the current year's salary, not any subsequent years. This could be partial coverage or full.
Example: Team A trades David Price whose contract is $8m for 2019 & 202.0 Team A provides full coverage for 2019.
Team B has no hit to his cap for 2019, but now has $8m on his spreadsheet for the subsequent years.
This adds another opportunity for teams looking to re-build once they realize they won't compete in the current season. In other leagues I've used this strategy a few times; it definitely helped expedite my rebuilds because I would usually receive picks/prospects in return.
Either way, still love the structure you put together, Commish...excited to get started!

That sounds pretty reasonable. Maybe something to discuss or poll if the commish is open to it and others owners are interested.
Also, I know it's a little late in the game, but any support for adding 1 more UT spot? I know it's a deeper league, but with a minor league system I think we will all have pretty deep talent in later years and it might be nice to be able to play an extra guy. No big deal either way.

I'll park both these ideas until the offseason - there'd be some logistics in the backend of Fantrax for me to tweak with the salaries that I'd need to look into. As for the extra UT spot I'm agnostic, but in a 20 teamer like this there's not usually a whole deal of useful players left rotting on benches to make it a slam dunk.

Clarification on contracts for mid-season call-ups regarding when the 5 year clock starts on players from the minor leagues. For example, if a player is on the minor league roster until getting called up in July 2019, would the contract structure be: $500k in 2019, $600k in 2020, $700k in 2021, $800k in 2022, $900k in 2023, then possibly extensions of $4M in 2024 & $8M in 2025? OR is this all delayed a year as they were on the minor league contract to start the year? I am figuring on the prior, but just want to be certain. Thanks in advance!

Minor leaguers' salaries are 500, 550, 600, 650 and 700 in the first 5 years before extensions.
You are able to hold the player down all season if they begin it in the minor leagues, but should that player exceed the 130 AB/50 IP limit during that season, you then have to decide in the off-season whether to promote or release them.
If you promote them mid-season that starts their clock, and will count as the first year of the 5 year contract whether it's done on April 1 or September 1.

Quick question and sorry if I missed it but we do not have limits for pitchers in terms of starts per scoring week or max innings pitched? Thanks!

Because I tend to find those are necessary in leagues where streaming is an option, to prevent sheer volume plays. With our setup, somewhere around 120 of the SPs will be owned from the outset anyway (if each team were to roster 6), the remaining ones would score relatively lowly on a start to start basis, and the setup of the contract system (with 50% penalties for drops) means that churning through people on a week by week basis isn't a particularly viable strategy.

So, to pick up a player off the waiver wire with FAAB money, do I need to open a spot on the roster before I bid, or can I do that once I see that I have won a bid?

It's all part of the same process - if you have the spot (because you've moved someone to the IL) then you just place a bid. If you're adding/dropping in one go, then you'd select the person to be dropped as part of the claim. If successful, that player would then be removed from your roster and replaced with the new one. If you were outbid, or someone outranked you with a waiver claim, the player would remain on your roster.
