9 PM PCT. Same as yesterday's to today. About 24 hours.

The PD & Scouting budgets lock in at start of spring training??

[Carlos]

Hmm I forget too. Do we have one more sim before it locks?

I don't know what it takes to be done...but can we have the minors start the same day as the BLB this year? It makes the Opening Day sim AMAZING!...and it allows teams to call up Triple-A players earlier to the BLB when their season is finished.

Thanks.

Idk for a fact, but my recollection is once we push to ST it's too late to change, so I think it happens with today's SIM.

Everything locks after this sim. No more changes.

Thanks guys. The levels we have are good, lock away!

It's a rotating schedule I believe, so it's random. As far as callups even with last years schedule you at most miss a week if your team is AAA playoff bound and you care about it. I'll look into it though.

No worries if it's random.

And yes, playing for minor league championships is dumb if you are competing at the BLB level.

We want all of the rings.

So now it's time to decide how much money I'll keep on hand for mid-season acquisitions either by trade or free agency.

Decisions.

Just a reminder...

All BLB and Minor League teams must have full coaching staffs by Opening Day.

Wanted to throw that out there to teams that are considering final budgets/payrolls.

Pawtucket needs a bench coach. Might hire a back-up scout again !
