Minor League Moves Next Day 2. Trades Next Day 3. Free Agent Signings Next Monday or Next Day (depending on choice of free agent method) 4. Position Changes Next Day 5. Releases Next Day Next day means the day following receipt of the transaction by STATS Fantasy Baseball. All transactions must be submitted online at www.stats.com. NO transactions will be accepted via phone. The daily deadline for all transactions is midnight, Central Time. An important concept of SFBB that all owners should understand before making transactions is the Major/Minor Rule. This rule states: If a player lands on your major or minor league roster via any means, he must stay there for three days if a non-pitcher, or 7 days if a pitcher except: (a) he can be traded at any time (b) he can be demoted to your minors if he was placed on the Official Disabled List If a player has been demoted to your minor league roster, he must stay there for three days if a non-pitcher, or 7 days if a pitcher except: (a) he can be traded at any time (b) he can be released at any time; and (c) he can be promoted to your majors as a replacement for another player that was placed on the Official Disabled List. Additionally, the injured player must be demoted within the disabled period (e.g., 15 days if the player was placed on the 15-day DL). This holds true even if the player has not been officially activated off of the DL by his major league team. The Major/Minor Rule is not triggered by transactions effective for Opening Day or earlier. Please note that a player coming off of the DL may not be promoted in violation of the Major/Minor Rule. If one of your players is retroactively placed on the DL by his major league team, and you choose to demote him at that time, he may appear in a major league game before your 7-day waiting period has expired. (For example: Kerry Wood is retroactively placed on the 15-day DL, effective eight days ago. If you demote him, he must stay in your minors for 7 days, even if he comes off the real DL in seven days.) So pay special attention to retroactive DL placements. Also, please note that a player being sent to the minors by his major league team does not permit you to demote that player in violation of the Major/Minor Rule. Please note: If a major league game is suspended, and the game is completed on a subsequent date, statistics from the completion of the game are considered to have been earned on the date the game began. Consequently, only players active on this original game date will earn SFBB points for your team.
