I'd like to do some work with the team's minor leaguers and cut some I don't care for. At what point during the SPRING do we get to do that? Or is it restricting because I've just picked up a team? Any thoughts?

It’s supposed to make sure they don’t cut someone they supposedly shouldn’t, potentially crippling their team. It also makes sure someone can’t pick up a bot team in their league and ruthlessly cut everybody down to the bare minimum of worst players to give them better odds at winning their division. Also, I promise that server snafus like what happened and caused you to need to take a new team again are the exception, not the rule. Timing is everything, as they say…

What I'm seeing is that can't cut ANY player; specifically wanting to lose some of my Single A minor league guys to try and pick up some better minor leaguers to build up my farm clubs. But maybe that is 30 days as well.
