#18 In Season Add/ Drop of Minor Leaguers

Teams should have the ability to add/ drop minor leaguers in season.  Owners would have the right to use their one nuke per week to sign a free agent minor leaguer to their farm system as long as they stay within the roster limit.  Using their one nuke on a minor leaguer would prohibit a [...]

Rule #17: The Introduction of Player Options

Winter Meeting Proposal #15- Expansion
