In NY league 3 J.Mesa was dropped but does not show as a FA. I understand the reasoning behind the drop and not making him available. However when this decision was made was it made public on the boards ? If it was and I missed it I apologize. If not can this be made public in the future ? I keep a manual list of FA based on sundays add/drops - it'd just be less clutter in my head knowing he wasnt out there prior to me looking for him sunday afternoon at 5pm. Thanks

Q The drop was allowed and we did take Mesa out of the free agent pool for that league. You are right, we should have notified the owners in that league. We will notify owners of those decisions going forward.

I dropped and posted why on the message board. Was an obvious move given where I stood in saves, and how closers could no longer help me. Can't really understand logic in pulling a player out of the fa pool if the drop made sense and was surprised to see no post re it, but people running this seem to be doing a great job managing the various alpha personalities playing.

It absolutely makes sense for you as you already have a glut of closers and lead in ERA and WHIP. But taking a top saves person out of the free agent pool in your league makes sense as other leagues don't have the same opportunity to pick up a guy who could get 20 more saves down the stretch. Taking one free agent out of that league's free agent pool isn't damaging that individual league at all.
