ARBA Message Board

Eric · Eric

As a public service, I've decided to post an explanation of this complex topic. It is always the hardest part of the ARBA rules for new owners to understand and can even trip up some who have been around for a while. It's almost as if our rules have developed over the course of 3 decades and been written b...

(1) "Expanded" Playoffs passes 14-0. As many people noted this was really just a codification of the existing situation. (2) Tiebreakers passes 14-0. Nobody likes coin flips. (3) Using MLB Rules passes 11-2. Weird that an MLB replay league would use MLB rules but ok (4) Limited Active Rosters fa...

Hello again! Of course I'm still interested in more substantial deals, but might as well try to get in on the prospect sale action too. $20K seems to be the going rate and I would take that for any of the following. AUS - Griffin Burkholder (PHI-OF), Brandon Compton (MIA-OF), Humberto Cruz (SD-RHP), C...

Hollywoo! is looking to make a last minute deal for a top-of-the-rotation level starting pitcher. Looking to move picks and top prospects, including: BRICENO, Josue (1B/C, Tigers): A massive riser who won the 2024 Arizona Fall League Triple Crown. By early 2026, he has surged into the Top 20 overal...

Austin's division rivals have been rudely making deals to improve themselves, while the Greyhounds have made only one so far.

Hi Men, I've had life issues that really is slowing down my hot stove, apologies. DGG is looking to see if I can move the following (otherwise you will have to fight for them in the C auction, most likely) 1) Gausman 2) Kirk 3) Bohm 4) Whitlock 5) T. Anderson 6) Carson Williams (not a C, but I'm full at SS) 7)...
