Regarding compensation:

We will continue to have NO protected picks for compensation of signed players.

Compensation for Type A**:
First signing is 1st round pick of signing team.
Second signing is $10 million
Third signing is $25 million
All signings after 3 are $30 million in cash.

Cash will be moved from signing team to previous team at the time of the signing from now on.

Compensation for Type B:
First signing is second round pick and $5 million
Second signing is third round pick and $10 million
Third signing is fourth round pick and $15 million
All signings after 3 are $20 million.

If a team signs players that they cannot properly compensate a previous team for, the player will be released, the signing team will be fined an additional $5 million in cash and if a pick was involved, that pick will become the previous teams and the signed player will be release back into the FA pool. The previous team will then be compensated by the new signing team as well.

Comp Rule:
"Warne-out compensation" rule: As compensation was developed to reward teams with some form of payment for letting their superstar-MLB players walk way from the team and because the compensation is determined based on overall ratings averaged (with the commish's person opinion on some players being moved up or down), I propose we make a rule that requires a player must record at least 20 GS (for SP), 40 APP (for relievers), or greater than 400 plate appearances (for positions players) in order to even be considered a Type A or Type B compensation player. This will prevent teams from stock piling talent in the minors and then getting rewarded for not playing the players as well as make it so that if teams do this, new teams are not being punished for giving said players the chance at MLB game time

I didn't sign Ortega...

[Nathan]

Yeah he's still listed as a FA

[Brandon5tewart]

Thank you San Diego, it’s been a rough few years for me in Comp.

[morethanagame]

This is exactly why these rules for comp need to be changed. There is no doubt about it that me losing Hermanson, especially when I fought to keep him during the season and then resign him during FA, is a much bigger loss that Ari losing their guy. Signed for 1/5 of the money, one entering prime while the other is on his way out, and the stats don't even compare. Yet I get money that I don't need and the other gets a #1 pick. I've lost several guys through FA over the years and I think MAYBE one time I got a pick in return. I'd rather get a 2nd round pick than the money. I would really like to see us all try to make this better for next year, because to get fucked like this yet again sucks.

[morethanagame]

Can we look at putting in a rule that has the requirement that the team has to make a qualifying offer to the player prior to entering FA, like in real life? I'm assuming based on his age that ARI didn't make an offer to their guy. Perhaps one way to improve this process.

[Commish Heis]

As always, I am open to discussions about this comp system.

One thing I will say, we can't make qualifying offers because 99.9999% of the time a 1 year deal would not be accepted unless theyre older than dirt lol

something has got to be changed. I mean COL is getting a better deal than me by losing a 39 year old, getting the 31st overall pick plus 5 mill. Do we have the ability to add supplemental picks between round 1 and 2?
