Q&A for 70M Theme

Q: Are players who played in 2017 but not 2018, but are playing in 2019, allowed?

Q: Are players who played as both hitters and pitchers available twice for their "first" and "last" seasons? (i.e. Babe Ruth in 1918)

Variable Cap: Minus XY
Your team's salary cap will be 180M - x*y

x = number of distinct seasons on your 25 man roster
y = number of distinct franchises on your 25 man roster

Ex: If my team is made up of only players from the 2018 Yankees, my salary cap would be 179M (180 - 1*1). If I decide to also swap one player out for 2018 Jacob deGrom, my salary cap goes down to 178M since deGrom plays for the Mets and my team is now made up of players from 2 franchises (180 - 1*2 = 178). If I decide to keep deGrom and also swap out two other players for 1927 Babe Ruth and 1927 Lou Gehrig, my cap drops to 176M (180 - 2*2).
