HOT STOVE SEASON

The WFBL is now in its off-season Hot Stove period lasting through 9PM ET / 6PM PT on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

During the Hot Stove period, GMs may engage in transactions as covered by Rule V-B at our home website. Here are the off-season highlights:

Each GM will be allowed two straight-up trades with any other team during the Hot Stove season. No multi-team deals are allowed.

Only players with no MLB experience may be added to the Minors. No players may be added to Majors from outside a WFBL organization except via trades.

You may promote/demote eligible players at any time. Only players with actual MLB experience may be promoted to a WFBL Majors roster. All Majors and Minors rosters must be kept at legal limits at all times.

When the Hot Stove deadline arrives, all rosters will be frozen from any outside additions other than use of the Waiver Wire for international FAs.

International FA's remain available through the Waiver-Claims process. This will be the final year for January 15 Latin American signees. In 2027, they become first available at our Minors Draft each year.

This is also the perfect time for each GM to fully audit the home website and CBS. Check to ensure that your rosters reflect properly as to player control, their current MLB organization and position eligibility, Minors eligibility. Ensure the Master Roster is correct as to your player control. Check your roster draft pick section and the 2026 Minors Draft to ensure your draft pick control shows correctly.

As always, if anyone has any questions just send a text or email at any time.
