The Filings
Filed by the teams themselves. Shareholders of both teams vote to approve or reject; not voting counts as approval, so silence carries the filing. When several teams bid for the same player, the releasing team's front office takes the first bid still standing.
The Tribunal has adjourned. These are the filings of S03-SHIFT, as registered.
