You can only apply a tag to a player twice before he has to go to UFA.
-Franchise Tag-Player will receive contract based on real life contract.
Contracts will be based off -legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/
-If, at the time of assigning a franchise tag, the salary is unknown, when the contract and salary becomes officially announced, the owner has the right to decline the tag (the tag becomes a sunk cost and can not be reused) if announced within 72 hours of media announcements. If declined, the player will become an unrestricted free agent. If the salary is not declined, the salary applies to the teams cap 72 hours after being announced by media outlets.
-Restricted Tag-Allows GM to match or decline on player during RFA. GM must match years of controlled based on winning bid.
-Flex Tag-Allows GM flexibility in choosing either a Franchise or RFA tag for player.
Player match can be made or player can be released to the winning team after the 1 week bidding period. Match is based on AAS. Length can be determined by retaining team as long as the AAS is consistent. Under no circumstances should any 1 year of the Full contract exceed or be less than 25% of the AAS(average)
Players with RFA tagged that do not get offered a contract: The retaining team then has the option to extend the player at a contract of (1 year/$2) or the other option would be to release the player as a UFA with no penalty.
GMs are allowed to trade tags with a player attached. Receiving GM must use the tag that was traded to them.
