Auction slots vs Team roster sizes

January 28, 2025, 02:27:36 PM

Supply and Demand always fascinated me. One of my few "A's" in college was in Econ 101. Auction starting this Sunday.   Obviously how much will Ohtani and Betts and Wheeler go for is always a point of interest and speculation.   Will Ohtani go for more or less in 2025 than he did in 2022 ?

Back to supply and demand.   I see from the team roster pages there are 134 openings under 40 players per team.   The new auction grid has 195 spots for nominated players. So it seems that the later round auctions MAY see less players.

Of course we can still cut players off the 40 man so more openings may come up.

Can you help out the dummies like me in the league? When should I spend my money? I was thinking all in the first 2 rounds.

Bob,

I'm guessing we have 30-40 waivers during free agency as things go on. I could be wrong but that's my best guess. So I think we'll have about 180 spots to fill.

I need to make some nominations.

I probably have some dead weight to cut as well.

Tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon I will have time.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
