2022-2023 Off-Season Schedule & Activity Check

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Hey friends!

Here's the schedule for this coming Off-season.  There could be a couple tweaks to this schedule; I couldn't remember any other changes we discussed throughout the year.  Good luck to St. Louis and Seattle as they battle it out for the 2022 BKDB World Series title!  If this is your first off-season, feel free to ask in the league Discord any questions you have, lots of people to help!

Note **The "2022 Off-Season Team Info" Tab on the Official Rosters Sheets will be fully updated with contract values and all ARB eligible players once the MLB regular season ends so that you can begin evaluating your decisions for the off-season.**

Sept. 25, 2022 - End of 2022 BKDB World Series
Oct. 5, 2022 - Trading Opens (at midnight ET of Sunday night, current free agents cannot be traded)
Oct. 14, 2022 - Start of the 2022 Amateur Draft (2023 Draft picks can be traded starting at the beginning of the draft)
Oct. 30, 2022 - Trading Closes
Nov. 30, 2022 - Roster Decisions Due/Rosters turned over to next season to reflect 2023 salaries.
Jan. 2, 2023 - Start of Free Agency
Feb. 15, 2023 - Start of 2023 International Draft
Mar. 30, 2023 - Start of the 2023 BKDB Season (our 12th year!!)

Thanks!

This schedule is currently on hold... join the discussion on discord and also on the possible draft-combination thread.

As of now, I'd just say let's wait until the MLB season ends before knowing what we'll do next.

The season can’t end soon enough. What a disappointment.

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Our Off-Season Schedule has been finalized. The Team-By-Team Sheet will be updated on the Rosters by the end of the weekend for your off-season roster decisions. As a reminder, draft picks can be traded up to 3 days before the start of the draft.

See above.

When does trading start back up after the October 30th close?

When I get all the rosters turned over... so a couple days after, but not sure exactly how long that will take.  

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Via the draft or other posts, all 30 teams have checked in for the new season. We have now entered the roster decision periods. Decisions must be submitted to the commissioner by Nov. 30.

**Note, Astros GM (Will) is currently updating the extension values, they may be SLIGHTLY off. So if you're within $1m of cap space, I'd wait a week to fully decide on your decisions to when he finishes that. I won't be updating rosters until he finalizes the values.**

In fairness, you didn't message me your entire decision list yet.

[Marlins GM (Travis)]

I messaged you saying I wouldn't submit my decisions until 30th cause I'm hoping one of 2 guys sign MLB contracts by then. You responded, saying I should tell you everything but the one restriction so you can get a headstart. I do that. Then you respond saying you won't update it until you get the last restriction? Don't blame this shit on me.

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Marlins GM (Travis), sorry, Travis.
