Edit Teams

This is the area where you will edit the rosters of the teams in your league and a team's basic information.

Transactions can be made by two different pages in this area. The Set Lineup page allows you to conduct multiple transacitons at once. The Edit Player Status allows you to conduct transactions (and view the transaction history) for individual players.

Set Lineup: This page allows you to change the current status for any of the players on one team. Make sure the transaction date is correct and edit the player(s) position(s). A player will get credit for MLB games played on the transaction date. If you need to edit dropped or traded players use the "Edit Player Status" option on the "Edit Teams" page.

Edit Player Status: This is the page where you can change the status of a player on a team. This is where you can conduct current and retroactive transactions. The page shows all the current players and their current status. To change a player's status, click on the player's name. A screen will appear where you can update the player's current status. To edit a previous transaction, enter an effective date for the transaction and an end date for the transaction. To change the current status of a player, enter an effective date for a transaction. Our system will alter all statistics and league standings for this change with the next day's statistical update.

You can make trades from the Edit Player Status page (We recommend trying the Make Trades page first). To trade a player and keep his accumulated stats with his prior team, you designate the player who is leaving a team as "T" and then you add that player to his new team (using the add/delete player area). Make sure the player added has the proper start date. If you do not want the team trading the player to keep his prior stats, then delete the player from that team and add him to the new team's roster. You can then choose to add stats from the date of the trade or the start of the season.

Add/Drop Players: This is the area where you can add or drop players. To add a free agent or a player traded to a team, add that player to a team's roster and indicate his status (active, reserve, injured, or minors).

If a player is no longer with a team due to a trade or release, edit a team's roster and change the status for that player. There are two roster designations which indicate a player is no longer on the team, but he has stats that count toward that team's standings:(T) Traded and (D) Dropped.

Delete Players: This is the area where you can completely remove a player from a roster as if the player was never on the roster. All stats for this player will be removed from that particular team's stats.

Player Salaries: You may enter a salary for each player on a team's roster. These salaries will show up along with the roster information for each player on the roster reports available in the League HQ.

Player Contract Status: You may enter a contract status for each player on a team's roster. The contract information will show up along with the roster information for each player on the roster reports available in the League HQ.

Edit Team Info: This allows you to change a team's name, and the secondary email address.

Edit Owners: This allows you to edit a team's owner(s). You can use this page to remove an owner if a user claimed the wrong team. If you know a team owner's RotoWire username, you can use that to give that team owner access to the team.

Add Unlisted Player: This allows you to add any player to your league. This will allow you to add the minor league players we don't yet have in our system. When an unlisted player plays his first game in the majors, that player will appear in the free agent listings. The commissioner of your league will need to add that player to a team's roster and delete the "unlisted" player.
