I don't know what non-tender means? I had most of those dudes highlighted on my GTFO list already, so I'd love to dump them.
The extend/arb list I got handled. How do I dump the rest of those tards?
Actually I was pretty lenient. If that was my team, I'd cut even more. I don't get why so many teams keep 5-6 guys who are absolute garbage on their 40-mans.Doh has been a noted minor league free agent signer on this site for years, I'm not sure I'd trust his non-tender suggestions.
Yea this is the worst lmao, you cant trade away established players for anything. I think I got the most out of my world series team last offseason I possibly couldMore interesting at this point to look at other teams than my own. I've maxed out at 103 wins but no fun tearing it all down getting 2 3rd round picks for Alfredo Saucedo.
The league is in a weird spot where too many teams are attempting to rebuild and the established teams don't have a lot of needs. 5 seasons ago people were getting good packages for established players.Yea this is the worst lmao, you cant trade away established players for anything.

I was shocked at how much you got. You had a lot of premium players which I lack (most of my premium guys are about to be FAs) so I can't really get what you got or I'd trade everyone away in a second.Yea this is the worst lmao, you cant trade away established players for anything.

And I think throw in that we have good FAs every year now and trading away good players is not really worth it. But I do think most good teams don't have huge needs. With teams at the bottom not trying to win yet or not wanting good players to tank, the good players have to go somewhere and the talent is very skewed as of now.The league is in a weird spot where too many teams are attempting to rebuild and the established teams don't have a lot of needs. 5 seasons ago people were getting good packages for established players.
In 5-10 seasons the talent should start thinning out a bit. This is a huge talent boom we have going, it wont be like this foreverThe league is in a weird spot where too many teams are attempting to rebuild and the established teams don't have a lot of needs. 5 seasons ago people were getting good packages for established players.
Poor @Travis7401 - CPU really dicked the dog with my team. It's all pear shaped.
Dr. Sad should've been gone two years ago, he had two team options. Zhong is the same way. Garcia has been moved to a starter role which unsurprisingly resulted in his second tommy john. Mole was left on a 60 pitch count and still died Claudio Montes got brought up like six years too early. I mean my lawd.
The team should've been set up pretty well. There is/was a lot of young talent (as evidence by the fact that the minor league teams all had good years). But they still pretty much called up anyone with any talent. I was pumping money into development and the ML salaries should've been pretty easy to drop because I tried to stay pretty light in and with team options in case I wanted to go all-in for a free agent or two. That actually still seems to be true, so ur payroll should be fairly low (and could get a lot lower if you want).
Finally:
When I first looked at the team I was pretty depressed. After a more thorough examination, I think the biggest problem was the equivalent of the CPU depth chart glitch in the NCAA series. The computer spent most of the year starting some pretty strange lineups if the game played stats are any indication. Anyway, roster management is definitely my strong suit in these type of games so I should be able to un-fuck that pretty quickly. Like you already mentioned, I have some good younger talent too.
I'm going to try a different approach to this game than most people as well, so we'll see if it pays off. For this first year I'm not going to do anything too drastic other than trying to trim obvious dead weight (which I've mostly done) and sign a couple of mediocre/sub average starters to fill the couple of major holes I have while keeping a low payroll. I'm going to use the Tebow to Jacksonville strategy of bringing in some cheap fan favorites who suck in order to boost attendance There has just been a long trend of receding revenue that I'd like to stop before I make any major decisions about the future.
My only goals for this year are to improve on what the CPU did last season while enjoying learning the game and my team. Then next season with a year of gameplay experience under my belt, I'll have a better idea of what the roster and minor league squads need.
I like this Travis guyTravis will be running the league in 5 seasons. He's going to find some moneyball tactic and run off 5 straight
I'm exported I guess OU.
Can you holler when it's cutoff time? I'd like to look at a couple other non-tender candidates but it's nothing major. I don't want to hold the league up over it.
So clicking 20 players that I'm interested in, only a little under half will negotiate with me. Pretty much zaps any desire to play this game.

I'll look in settings when I look at the moving arb option, give me 10Did they ever get back to you in that thread? I wonder if there is something I can change that would make you look better to them
I've found 3 out of 8 that won't talk to you, mostly old guys. Every young'n I've clicked on will talk. You might have to overpay but you could get some good 30 and under players.
EDIT: Now I'm getting to the ones who won't, fuck. This is crazy. I mean on one hand this just puts you back in ootp 14/15 where you have to trade because there is no FA. On the other hand I get why it makes it less fun.
You really shouldn't have an issue getting talent though, if that's your concern.
Maybe if we all bought our own copies it'd be enough money to fix this already
