I would like the Chicago White Sox

[Admin]

Would you be willing to go ahead and create a new roster for the White Sox before we consider the application finalized?

Thanks.

done (i think)

Looks good. Welcome aboard.

You will be responsible for keeping your roster reasonably up to date.

We've just started free agency. Catchers are currently up for bid. Feel free to participate. Please use caution as well. FA contracts are fully guaranteed and cannot be removed. Long contracts frequently turn into a burden if a player fails to love up to expectations. You may choose to look over the entire market before developing a plan. But the option to participate immediately is yours.

You may protect any player who is not owned elsewhere in this league and is under contract with the White Sox organization with less than 6 years of service time by listing the specific transaction under "Roster transactions". As something that has been recently added, we are asking all new owners to protect or unprotect at least one player before trading is allowed. (This shows the league that you understand the rules and processes involved in being a GM).

While you may discuss trade ideas with other teams, trading is not allowed until 7 days after the establishment of a trade block.

It is strongly advised that during this week new owners do not agree to any deals, but instead use this time to field offers, engage in trade discussion and aclimatise to the nuiances of the league.

Anyway, if you've made it this far, welcome to the league. We're glad to have you here.

Congrats. You win the record for fastest time for a new owner to protect a player.

Well done.

Updating this application. Johnny has been reassigned to the Marlins. Sorry, but the 7 day wait for trading has to be reset with the change in teams.
