@Orlando, I got both Gut and JARVIS to sign for 5 years. Apparently they'll sign cheap for one year, but if you want them 5 years you have to cough up a lot more. It's the opposite as the earlier versions. JARVIS wanted 1 year for 800k, so I had to pay him 3.6M per year to lock him up. Probably a bad move but I needed to know exactly how much I would have to pay going forward with Zo. Dani wanted 1 year 2.8M, had to pay him 4.6M to sign for 5.

Ill never get contract AI.

$3.6 per year for a closer, while wolfman gets a future all-star SS for $950K per year for 6 years.

How does that make sense?

I got Herc? Wooooo

I think everyone knows the Tony Gonzalez deal is the worst shit ever in this league but who cares so no point in complaining about it Lloyd.

Also, Herc on the block. :trollface:

Speaking of contract AI, I offered Bly $3M for 1 year.

He must really like the craps tables in Vegas in order to bail on Buffalo after 15 years over $190K.

I'm 0-3 in trying to get my guys to retire having only played for the Buffalo/Boston/Bangkok organization.

All that's left is Enquist and Gilleland. One of youll bastards will surely spoil them too.

I tried with Harris. I offered him like double. Two years was the longest he would take.

This is impossible, @ZackMills paid over a million for Mercier for literally zero reason, we staged an entire trade to have him retire a Distiller.

Thanks for screwing up WBL storylines because you actually read scouting ratings for 40 year old players, Zack.

Well Wolf broke the not longer than 5-year rule a sim or two ago and claimed ignorance. Now what's his excuse?

I don't think you can see it once they sign.

It just proves my point about how insane pre-arb deals are. If you complain about the economics of the game yet think these deals make sense, I give up.

It's a mystery now, but I'm going to guess that if a 0.2 WAR catcher with the same service time on Wolf's team has a 2.4m arb estimate that Tony Gonzalez's wasn't close to 950k.

It's okay, it helps the middle of the road teams so it's fine for the big dogs to make deals like this too.

:laughing: jesus. Wolf is the contract offer (not even final contract) cop too.

@OU11 you can just void these contacts and make people renegotiate them. FWIW, I am seeing his arb estimate at $800k when I delete the extension.

I believe the contract was signed when he had 1 year and 14 days or something like that. I dont know what the arb estimate was so I only critiqued the length since that was the only illegal part I could prove.

then it is legal (aside from length). I am chopping off the 6th year and next year will cancel the TO

If anybody signs a arb buyout contract of more than 5 years I'm just going to add $3M to each year. cancelling does nothing since they can just redo the same thing

Maybe this is where greed comes in? Or its based on potential? Roddis is the biggest asshole. He doesnt even play that well, would never sign a multi-year deal and how his arb estimate is up to $10m.

Maybe it's based on Nazi Indy Dev logic stealing our money for a shoddy product. Just thought I would float that as someone that hates anyone trying to run their own business.

Cant be greed. guti is very low and Gonzalez is just low.

What happened with Roddis happened to me with Paz. And every year he was granted more than his arb estimate. He has to go to FA after this year.
