30T Salaries
Hello and welcome to Major League Fantasy Baseball - Salary Cap Edition!
First and foremost, we are looking for MATURE, DEDICATED owners, as we just had a mass exodus of half of the league after its first year.
We are asking for a $50 deposit which will be held in Fantrax's online treasury for 2 years, after which it will be returned to you. This deposit will help weed out the immature owners that plagued us last year (our first).
Joining the league's Discord and actively responding to DMs from leaguemates is a requirement in this league. This is a VERY active league with several trades a day going down this offseason. Transactions are now paused while we wait to refill the league--hopefully with you!
Once full, we will hold a dispersal draft for all new owners as well as any current owner who wants to redraft their team. Most teams, and thus, most players, will be available in the dispersal draft.

This is a league that uses real MLB player luxury tax hits which are subject to change at any time.
All teams must be under the MLB’s Luxury Tax Threshold of $245,300,000 and above the Salary Floor of $148,200,000 at all times during the initial startup draft and regular season.
If you release a player with a salary, and they go unclaimed on waivers, you will have a cap penalty that follows the following guidelines:
75% of his current year luxury tax hit, per Spotrac.com
50% of his luxury tax hit for next year (if guaranteed)
25% of all future luxury tax hits
Failure to meet the Salary Floor is grounds for removal from the league. There is no tanking in MLFB.
If a player’s real life luxury tax hit changes, it will change here too.
If a change in player’s luxury tax hit causes you to go over cap, you will be notified and have 72h from that notification to fix it before the commissioner takes action.
Available teams:
Twins
White Sox
Orioles
Athletics
Astros
Padres
Diamondbacks
