December 24, 200817 yr You can only sign so many Type A free agents per offseason. From Cots http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com : If 0-14 players file for free agency under Article XX (B) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, no team may sign more than 1 Type A or B player. If 15-38 players file for free agency, no team may sign more than 2. If 39-62 players file for free agency, no team may sign more than 3, with the limits increasing accordingly for higher totals. A club may sign an unlimited number of free agents who do not qualify as Type A or B free agents. A club may sign as many type A and B free agents as it has lost, regardless of the limits above. Huh...wow, didn't know that. :notworthy This is just the news I needed.

December 25, 200817 yr No, any team can sign up to however many they want within the guidelines of: If 0-14 players file for free agency: 1 If 15-38 players file for free agency: 2 If 39-62 players file for free agency: 3 The part about how many a team loses means that...let's say the cap above is 3. If a team loses 4 type A free agents, that team can then sign 4 type A free agents.
