2012: Trade Deadline - Sept. Expansion
Here's a quick head-up on how things will go going into September:
The trade deadline this season will be September 1st during Week 22 which
falls 3/4 of the way into that week. Please have all trades to me by 5pm EST
on Saturday, September 1st.
September Expansion will begin during the Week 22 transaction period. Expansion
moves are prioritized over the normal weekly transactions. Please make sure to mark
your expansion transactions in your emails so I can make sure they are indeed
expansion picks.
SEPTEMBER ROSTER EXPANSION
If it chooses, a team may expand its roster for the pennant drive by calling up
one additional pitcher and/or one additional batter at any time after September 1
until the end of the season from the free agent pool, its own reserve list, or
its own farm system.
The order of selection for the expansion is determined by the most recent standings,
with the last place team having first selection. During the first transaction period
after or on September 1, expansion claims take precedence over any other acquisitions.
The owner must state that a player is being taken for expansion.
Thanks,
Matt
