Winter Meetings
As in real life, there is a period of time following each season in which teams assess their strengths and weaknesses and begin to chart which free agents they might be interested in signing for the upcoming season. You will have to wait until the “Winter Meetings” to begin the off-season progress and sign free agents. The Winter Meetings will officially start after the World Series. The exact dates will be posted by the Commissioners at the conclusion of each season.
Off-season timeline:
* Post Free Agents, and Franchised Free Agents
* Restricted Free Agents are eligible to be bid on
* Minor League Draft
* Official Free Agency is open to all GM's.
You will receive plenty of notice of all of these important dates. Please plan accordingly. Keep in mind trading is open all off-season beginning with the first day after the World Series.
