I've closed the poll on eliminating the cutdown beginning in 2021. Rough schedule of events in the near future:
1. 2020 cut down (our last time doing this) - February 29th
2. waiver draft - will begin as soon as I've determined that every time has compliant cut down rosters, likley the first few days of March
3. 2020 MiLB draft - same time as usual, after the signing deadline of the MLB draft
4. 2021 NPD new player draft - February 2021
So to recap, after 2021 we will have a single NPD every February and will never have to trim our rosters. We'll also have year-round access to the FA pool.
I'm going to have to close the 2020 draft in Fantrax before the start of the season, so 2020 MiLB picks will disappear and have to be tracked on the spreadsheet until our July MiLB draft. This will be the last time we have to worry about manually tracking any picks. I'll wait until late March to process this, so that and trades made over the next 6-7 weeks can be processed in Fantrax as usual.
