This is better, have no concerns anymore if this is done
Not retroactively doing anything

My rationale:
Ed Lewis is a Rochester, NY native as well as a solid IF player with good defensive stats. He's also got a solid career going in college, albeit his competition is poor. He was a must have for Buffalo.
Reel originally offered me him for a 4th, but I declined it since it's not fair to give him a 4th for a 2nd round pick. I told him Id do a 3rd and 4th but he had to cover the signing bonus for Lewis, but I went and traded my 3rd to jd and kind of back tracked on my word by doing so, so I told him Id take the bonus for lying (even though he still got a third this year
)
Reel wins this one, but I wanted Lewis reel bad.

Lewis is worth probably a 3rd or 4th. Definitely not a 2nd round pick. His CPU manager screwed him there.

I agree with that. Also agree with no retroaction.

I like this. Keep the homeboy in the hometown.

TOs capped at 140%? Cairo's Birdal deal?

Welp. I made the offers to Pusk and Infante before the Clinch deal - one that I felt was too good to pass up. I honestly just didn't know what to do with the two FAs. I originally signed them to round out my rotation as #3 and #4, but I couldn't decide who I wanted. I figured one would accept and one would get a better offer. Overpaid for Pusk, but I really like my Infante deal. $12m and we'll see if he's got anything left or if last year was the start of the decline.
My rotation is stacked doe. Clinch, Kim, Paco, Pusk, and Infante.

Went to bed with 3 pending offers and 3 favors offers. Woke up to 0 signings.

same. I had 3 FAs who were favorable, and 4 IFAs who were pending after giving them $1.5M bumps yesterday. Only got Hacksaw (which IMO was the most important to get), when I spend I want to spend big just getting one guy is a waste. I should have just pulled all the offers and went big next year. Hope Hacksaw does something

Bump'dbump dat budget like a train babby
Didn't sign one IFA. LAWD. My fan interest also crashed with @NML signing all my scraps and @jdlikewhoa signing Gomes.
@NML outbid me on Infante. I was hoping to get him at a discount. With other positions I felt needed improvement on I didn't want to burn 12.8 on a guy. Gotta go bargain bin shopping.
Odrenian is a great defensive catcher who seems farm boy strong. I can handle a catcher like that. Zagurov didn't show he was going to be the catcher I hoped so now I have Odrenian so he can come along a bit slower.
Bradshaw is half of my dh platoon. He had a great year for @Karl Hungus two years ago and his obp was good last year.
I spent on power which given my park is probably not the greatest idea but Odrenian's defence and Bradshaw's ability to get on base make the inefficient spending less so.

Nice- that's less than he was making last year.
@osick87 Seeker is a great backup catcher. He wouldn't even talk extension with me, otherwise I would have kept him. Fantastic defensive catcher and not completely useless with the bat.

I will also take on contracts. Might as well use this excess money in some fashion.
