Rule 9.2 - Signing other teams MLB Personnel: Amended

#1 · February 8, 2026, 1:37 am

Original:
Signing other teams MLB Personnel - Because of the online league format situations are occurring where MLB personnel with multiple contract years remaining are receiving offers from other organizations that send out in-game negotiation responses that require an immediate in-game response. Certain sim durations can result in instances where a personnel member exits an organization without the original team having an opportunity to respond to these time-sensitive in-game messages. I also do not think it is realistic to be able to sign a member of another organization's Major League personnel without their permission or knowledge of the contract negotiation occurring behind their back while they are already contracted
As such the following rules will be implemented for signing other organization's personnel.
1. You can only offer contracts to the MINOR LEAGUE personnel members of other organizations.
2. You HAVE to be hiring them into an MLB position.
3. You have to notify the original organization's General Manager 24 hours BEFORE the sim you are exporting into.

Amended:

To preserve competitive integrity and prevent time-sensitive contract exploits, the following restrictions apply to the hiring of personnel currently under contract with another organization.

- Clubs may only negotiate with Minor League personnel employed by another organization.
- The personnel member must be hired into an MLB (Major League) position.
- The hiring club must provide public written notice by posting in the #staff-auctions Discord channel and tagging the other GM at least 24 hours prior to the export in which the signing will occur.

Any violation of this section will result in:
A. Immediate release of the staff member by the signing club at that club’s expense.
B. The staff member is returned to the original organization at the same contract term and cost.
C. A $1,000,000 fine assessed to the signing club, applied to the following season’s Miscellaneous Player Expenses.

No exceptions.

Any General Manager impacted by a suspected or confirmed violation must notify the Commissioner at the earliest convenience for review and enforcement.
