Hello,
I'm into the 2021 season now on OOTP 21. I signed MANY low-priced veteran FA's to minor league deals with major league options.

I thought the rule was that after 30 days, their contracts automatically become guaranteed and they can also file/leave for free agency if they choose.

We are now more than 30 days into the season. I'm on Monday, April 26th in my league and the opening day was on March 25th (April 23rd should've been the 30th day of the season).

All of these players (Jonathan Villar, Edwin Encarnacion, Tyler Flowers, Josh Reddick, Tony Wolters, Yoenis Cespedes are still in my AAA team).

I was expecting a notice on the 30th day ... so I was playing to see what would happen. I traded several other FA major league veterans with this same contract type, but still have the rest above.


I couldn't recall exactly what would happen on the 30th day, so I was testing with simulations to see. I have a saved game from the 22nd - before the 30th day.

I think perhaps their contracts became guaranteed and my budget now reflects that? Is there anyway to tell for sure without knowing my previous budget?

Can anyone remind me of the rule???

Can I STILL trade the remaining guys and eliminate their contracts from my books for the year (pro-rated of course by a couple games)??

Why haven't they filed for FA left if they are able to?
This surprises me since I still have them all in AAA.

Maybe they DID file but there's no actual "notice" in the "Mail and news"

Thanks for any support/guidance.

I'm trying to decide whether to roll back to the 22nd of April and trade them all QUICKLY.

Thanks,
