Getting closer to determining which teams are about to be contracted, but now it's time to decide what to do with those players. Pick one answer. If you have another idea let's hear it.
Thanks!

if draft, are you thinking random or in reverse order of records, which might make bad teams more competitive by putting better players on worse teams (same concept as the ammy draft)

It would be random.

Not penalizing good teams because we're contracting.

If randomly assigned, there should be some cost associated with the gaining of a talented player via randomization, so if you get X you give up a first (in the next three years, so as to prevent shit teams from being screwed). Or you can keep whatever you would give up and let the guy go to FA

Meh I wouldn't penalize people for being assigned good players. So if I was assigned Beltran and I had the decision to either take him or give up my 1st, regardless of the next three years, I'm not giving up a pick for a 30 yr old in the 1st year of a rebuild so he goes to FA and I get nothing? That penalizes bad teams even more so.

The easiest would be death. Anything else would really slow the offseason.

If we do contract I like the idea of something simpler.
HOU players are drafted by NL teams.
KC players are drafted by NL teams.
Two rounds. All other players go to FA.

This would be the simplest imo.
Id also say that pending FAs just go to FA.

Im not voting because I like my idea.

Would it? Run the contraction draft (with ML guys going to FA) same time as amateur draft. Contraction draft would probably be 3-4 rounds top.
Randomizing would take a couple hours tops.
Wouldn't slow anything really imo.

Based on the tanking rules one of those firsts has to fall in the 15 or so range or you've failed miserably as a gm

I'm sure there is a better way than mine suggested while keeping it semi realistic

I won't complain. It is what is. I'd rather not contract, but it's happening regardless
