2016 Off-season Activity Check

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

Hey guys,

Here's our first activity check of the off-season! I apologize for my absence from maintenance things. I've been very busy with school and work. I'm just over halfway down switching over the rosters to 2017 and updating contracts. The last step before we are able to start making roster decisions is to come to a decision on the value of the franchise tag. Here's the link to our current discussion:

baseknock.proboards.com/thread/6827/franchise-tag-determination?page=2&scrollTo=35989

Your participation in this discussion would be greatly appreciated!

I'll do my best to get all the teams done as soon as possible. In the meantime, please vote for your team!!

Also, trading will likely close as soon as we start making 2017 roster decisions, so make your deals now while you are still able to.

One final thing, we are still looking for a new Athletics owner, and perhaps more after this activity check.  Spread the word!

Let me know if you have any questions!

- Alex

So we're still waiting on:

Chicago White Sox (last log on, November 14th, we should be good with CHW)
Arizona D'backs (September 13th... I've sent him an email)
Chicago Cubs (August 10th.... also sent him an email)
Oakland Athletics (still looking for a GM)

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

The Chicago Cubs GM has informed me of his resignation. Consequently, the Athletics and Cubs are now both available.

[Rockies GM (Alex)]

The D'backs have checked in via email, and the White Sox logged on recently, so I'm going to assume our only two openings will be the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics.

I'm here! Sorry for the recent inactivity!
