ARZ needs tags for Machado, Bogaerts (still under control), Polanco, Springer (19: $12M), Martinez, Betances (still under control) & Harris. Has 2 franchise & 1 restricted tag
LAD needs tags for Sale, Nicasio, Smith(still under control) & Melancon (19-20 $14M). Has 1 franchise & 1 restricted tag
We need to decide on these.
LAD Will Smith FT, Sale RT would be my opinion. ARZ Machado RT, Bogaerts FT, Springer FT

That was my thinking, Ron. I’ll post those two along the bottom on these teams and we can wait on a new owner.

What about this idea. Since both teams are vacant going into FA we can make things really interesting by not using a tag on either. Quote frankly they are both very attractive teams and the new owners could have a shot at paying some of these guys

Sorry, I'm not for not tagging anyone from these teams

So letting the players go is what you’re suggesting?

The two best players are Machado and Sale. They are RT'd and everyone can bid on them. We can make the decision to let them go and give them compensatory picks. Or if it is your idea to just drop them to FA I wouldn't have a problem with that either. Just don't want someone taking over and questioning why we handled this differently than the normal. I know they are good teams but I think we need to be consistent. We need to make a decision quickly and I am good with whatever decision is made.

Cool. We’ll use the tag for RFA. This will get them some pick comp if the bid is insane and we will agree to find a replacement team before the decision to match is made.

I just did a bunch of stuff. What I can see is this... Dodgers D-backs
Braves Padres Phillies Astros
Looks like 6 teams aren't paying attention. Let's give them a bit and if anyone knows these guys or has a minute lets try to contact them. Obviously we know we need to replace the top 2. Thanks

Thanks for the work. I have tried contacting Mac (Braves) through pm, email and Linkedin with no response. This was over a month ago.

So here’s what I got. 9 hours ago the Padres logged in, I sent personal e-mails to Phillies and Astros(they logged in last month) Braves are gone and the only team I’m posting as Open. Blue Jays have been contacted as well. We have 2 more definite openings in LAD and Arz but agreed to keep that hush until we were ready. I guess we might have 27 teams.

And we might have 24. Either way it’s still early so Mario just keep trying to fill as we open.

Pretty sure Blue Jays are gone. Looks like he deleted his account and I have a message from that he was frustrated by not being able to move Correa or something.
