Late last year, Strat-O-Matic announced that we will be producing two distinct card sets for the 2020 MLB season - a Traditional set based on the actual results of the 2020 60-game season, and an Imagined set based on a combination of the actual results and projections, as our simulation of what a full 162-game season would have looked like. Both sets will be available for play in Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365!
Important note: All starting pitchers will need at least 4 days of rest between starts in Strat-O-Matic 365 leagues using modern single-season player sets, beginning with the 2020 season. Some pitchers will continue to receive 4-day starter asterisks from Strat-O-Matic, but they will be meaningless in the context of Strat-O-Matic 365 (exception: if these pitchers appear in ATG). This rule was initially designed to make today's pitchers compatible with older eras of baseball, but it does not make sense for self-contained modern seasons. The playoff schedule will be updated to include more rest days as a result of this change.

This is how much of a player's salary is withheld from the amount of money you are credited when you drop him to the free agent pool after the season starts.
5/10/20%: 5% until Game 42 is played, 10% after that until Game 81 is played, and 20% after that.
This will vacate your spot in this league, and allow you to switch to a different league (or re-join this one later).
Be careful, though, because if you try to rejoin this league, you'll be put in the first available open slot, which may or may not be your original one.
