Ok here's what I got...
@Bo53Horvat
By working backwards, I've tallied up NYR's running contract count for each day since the opening of free agency:
at the opening of this date:
6/19/19: 49
6/20/19: 50...adds Gravel
6/21/19: 52...
adds McGinn-
adds Megna
6/22/19: 53...
adds Chiasson
6/23/19: 51... trades Tolvanen, Pionk, Lindgren for Yandle (-2)
6/24/19: 52...
adds McEneny
6/25/19: 52
6/26/19: 52
6/27/19: 53...
adds Tanev
6/28/19: 53...current count (all signings included)
The signings in
bold and italic are invalid. So, working forward this time, the
corrected contract counts are as follows:
at the opening of this date:
6/19/19: 49
6/20/19: 50...adds Gravel
6/21/19: 50... invalid signings removed
6/22/19: 50... invalid signing removed
6/23/19: 48... trades Tolvanen, Pionk, Lindgren for Yandle (-2)
6/24/19: 49... adds McEneny
6/25/19: 49
6/26/19: 49
6/27/19: 50...adds Tanev
6/28/19: 50
Please remove McGinn, Megna, and Chiasson contracts and keep the McEneny and Tanev contracts. You are at 50 contracts and therefore cannot bid on UFAs unless that number is reduced before you bid.
Let me know if any of this sounds incorrect or if you have evidence to prove you did not exceed the contract limit.
You will be penalized a 5th round pick in 2020 or a 4th round pick in 2021 for being over the contract limit for one week. You have until July 5th to forfeit the pick (post in official trade thread).
