October 15th - 28th - Open trading to get rosters legal. (15 contracts of 3,4,5 years) (When doing so keep in mind that you have to sign minors soon) (Remember anyone that finished the season on a 1yr contract cannot be traded as they are officially a free agent)(After this period trading will be closed once again until after RFA so make your moves now)

November 5th-11th - Sign Eligible Minor Leaguers (Any minor leaguer on your team that exceeded 400 at bats or 100 IP need to be signed to a contract or released. If you dont plan to sign an eligible minor offer him around during the open trading period. Maybe someone will be interested and you can get something for him)
November 12th-18th - Give me your list of RFA's (Anyone on a 1yr contract that is not your extension can be posted for RFA. New salary will be per the RFA rules. Please read the RFA rules if you are new or do not remember how it plays out) You may select up to 5 RFA's to post.
