Since it was such a big hit last year, the top 10 free agents (Tier 1) will be the same format.
Two weeks. Five players per week. Bidding opens on a Monday. Open bidding until there isn't a bid for 24 hours. Also, after one week, only those who had previously bid have bid in the previous 24 hours will be allowed to continue in the nonsense. Any edited bid is invalid.
WEEK 1:
Manny Machado, 3B, 28 - 7 years, $33.000, No, Seattle Bryce Harper, OF, 28 - 7 years, $30.000, No, Minnesota Jose Altuve, 2B, 30 - 4 years, $27.000, No, Arizona Max Scherzer, RHP, 36 - 2 years, $49.000, Yes, New York Mets Justin Verlander, RHP, 37 - 3 years, $31.500 (after discount), Yes, Chicago White Sox
WEEK 2:
Anthony Rizzo, 1B, 31 - 3 years, $23.000, Yes, Tampa Bay J.D. Martinez, OF, 33 - 2 years, $22.500, Yes, Detroit Yasmani Grandal, C, 32 - 3 years, $23.500, No, Toronto Pat Corbin, LHP, 31 - 3 years, $30.000, No, Los Angeles Dodgers Zack Wheeler, RHP, 30 - 4 years, $24.500, Yes, St. Louis

Lightning Round, ladies!!
Some of us may get all hopped up on something before we make the bad decisions.
And are slacks still optional for the lightning round?

Hey, can you explain the rule that anyone who bid is allowed to continue after 1 week?
Seems like at least one GM is starting with equally small and unrealistic bids just to ensure he...triggers this qualifier. *shrug*

Also Jim, 2 minutes later: Places a small bid on a top free agent. Classic... P.s. not sure on the reasoning....I didn’t make the rule.

Well, that small bid pretty much maxes me on my cap, and is the highest bid of 4 bids received so far.
This is a bad take for you, Ian. It’s pretty obvious one or two guys have seen the loophole in this rule, and are already taking advantage. Things like this hurt the league.

The rule is that the bidding continues until no bids are received for 24 hours. After 1 week only those GM's who bid within the previous 24 hours are allowed to continue. The tiny bids being made don't assure anyone a place in the final bidding.

Okay, that makes more sense. Thank you for the better explanation.
