The Dispersal Draft will begin on 20th February at 8am CT, though the thread has now been unlocked and owners can make selections early if they wish (but may not skip another team in order to do so).
All current 2023 Roster Decisions – Promotions, Extensions, & Preliminary Roster Cuts – are due by end of day (EOD) on 18th February to allow me a day to catch up with any trades & finalize moves in Fantrax and on the spreadsheet to confirm budgets available to each team. Any trade that is agreed before this deadline will be processed before the Dispersal draft begins.
Each team will have up to six hours to make their pick, with the draft clock 'sleeping' between 12am and 8am CT. As the draft progresses, the timeline may be modified to expedite the process as needed.
It would be appreciated if you could notify the next in line when you have made your pick, either through GroupMe or using the email system on Fantrax. That'll help us move things along.

The Dispersal Draft will be a serpentine draft, so odd-numbered rounds will follow the order below while even-numbered rounds will be in the inverse order. Picks are to be made in the corresponding Round folder, so owners with bookend picks - like Durham Bulls at picks #16 (1.16) & #17 (2.01) - should place picks in separate folders, as this will show the Round folder for the later pick as the most recent update for ease of reference. I will post each new Round folder no later than during my selection.

Eligibility
All players who are currently listed on the Dispersal Draft Players roster are eligible to be bid on: www.fantrax.com/fantasy/league/a5ffx2utl9csojk5/team/roster;teamId=f154o9egl9csojly
You can also find a list of the players by going to Fantrax > Players, then selecting the ‘Status/Team’ of ‘zzz.Dispersal Draft Players’.
I will be editing no less than during each of my selections, so rosters will be kept fairly current. Please just do not select any players from the Dispersal Draft Players roster that have already been chosen since my prior pick. If someone does select a player that is unavailable, they can jump back in and select a replacement player at any time, but if future picks have been already been made, those selections will stand. If someone misses their turn to make a pick, they can jump back in anytime until two full rounds have passed, at which point that team will forfeit those and any future selections in the draft.
Be aware of your salary cap threshold. Remember that you will need to fill out your entire major league roster – including all active spots – and no less than 10 of the 20 minor league roster spots in order to have a legal lineup for Opening Day. In the event that an owner selects a player that puts them over the $100M salary cap, that player will be removed from the roster and placed back into the draft. The owner can no longer attempt to acquire that player at any time during the off-season except via trade.
Draft length
The draft will continue as long as teams have spaces and a desire to fill them. Teams can announce their final pick at any time, either when the final pick is made or when a subsequent pick is passed. If an owner misses two full rounds without any correspondence for the absence, their team will be removed from the draft moving forward. I will reach out to owners that miss a pick as necessary.
Remember that each player that is selected comes with fixed salary that is listed on the Dispersal Draft Players roster and will not be modified. Furthermore, if the ‘Ext?’ is marked as ‘No’ for any selected player, there will be no opportunity for a future extension, as that denotes that an extension is already in place.
Trading
Trades will remain open during the Dispersal Draft, though trading of Dispersal Draft picks is not permitted (FYPD picks are still eligible, however). If you have a trade in place that will free up a roster spot in order to draft another player, that is allowed, however it is the responsibility of each owner to remain compliant with regards to salary cap and any roster eligibility concerns. Trades will not delay drafting, so if an owner does not have roster space available for a selection when needed, that team will forfeit current and future selections.
