Following the conclusion of round 10 of the AMAT draft teams will have until Sunday Aug 19 2359 EST to perform the following steps:
1. Franchise Fill
Select any number of players (up to the maximum of 60 minor leaguers) drafted and signed by their MLB affiliate (e.g. MLB Cubs for the JBL Cubs) during the 2018 MLB First Year Player Draft and unsigned in the AMAT draft as "Franchise Fill" players. This is a great way to fill your 60 man minor league roster up to 60 players with lottery tickets. I recommend Google-ing "2018 (Team Name) Draft Selections" and going to the mlb.com link, and using the control+F function in the league spreadsheet to search all sheets for the players you are looking to add.
2. 60 minor leaguers max
Waive minor leaguers in order to reduce the total number of unpaid minor league players in their system to 60. Remember that these are un-revocable, and players waived can be claimed by any other team.
If you do choose to claim a player waived by another team, post the player that you will drop in order to keep your minor league roster at a maximum of 60 players.
This will eliminate the need for multiple iterations of these "make-sure-everyone-is-at-60" periods.
Note:
Draft selections from non-2018 First Year Player Drafts and International Signees are not eligible as franchise fill candidates. These are all minor league free agents, eligible for selection in this offseason's MiLFA draft.
Post your franchise fill selections and any waived minor leaguers in the Minor League Waivers forum titled "(Team) Franchise Fills".
