Following the conclusion of round 10 of the AMAT draft teams will have until Sunday Aug 27 2359 EST to perform the following steps:
1. Select any number of players drafted and signed by their MLB affiliate (e.g. MLB Cubs for the JBL Cubs) during the 2017 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 "2017 (Team Name) Draft Selections" and going to the mlb.com link, and cross referencing signed players with the stickied Amateur Draft Archive thread in this board to find eligible players.
2. Waive minor leaguers in order to reduce the total number of unpaid minor league players in their system to 60
This means that you can replace initial minor league draft selections (from the draft at the beginning of this season), initial franchise fill players, and even 2017 AMAT draft picks with new franchise fill selections if you so choose.
Note: Draft selections from non-2017 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 Transactions forum.
