The 2024 DMB Player Draft will officially start tomorrow on Tuesday, May 28th, with our typical schedule of 5 picks per day.
5 Picks Every Day
1. skipped by 9 AM CST
2. skipped by 12 PM CST
3. skipped by 3 PM CST
4. skipped by 6 PM CST
5. skipped by 9 PM CST
Teams must be at 50 players or less before making each pick.
The DMB Player Draft is essentially an organized mechanism (that ensures equitable distribution by going in the draft order) to allow teams to add players with projections before the start of the season. Selecting a player in the DMB Player Draft is the same thing as signing the player so we'll utilize their current MLB experience at the time of the selection--the same as it would be during the season. Refer to the Pay Scales section below from the Rulebook.
The players who are eligible are the free agents who are active (not playing overseas or retired) with a projection in the database. You'll want to search those players to see who is active and playing for a MLB franchise either in the majors or minors. Teams who are at the roster limit of 50 are allowed to select a player, but they need to get back to the limit within 48 hours of their selection. Trading of this year's draft slots or selections in the DMB Player Draft is allowed.

C. Pay Scales
At the end of every season, players who reach the minimum MLB rookie requirements of 130 at-bats and 50 innings pitched will change pay scales and move to a [.5/1/A1/A2/A3] contract. The [A1/A2/A3] contract years indicate stages of arbitration. Teams will have until a designated deadline to release these players before those contracts become official.
During the season, a team who signs a player who has already exceeded those minimum experience requirements (as of that exact time of the signing) will be on a [0/.5/A1] contract.
