someone is offering an opt out right before a team option?
Is that your attempt to do a mutual option or something? Can't wait to see what this does to the indydev AI.

Also several people are probably not taking the time to math buyouts based on what players are countering with. If you don't offer 40% of the final year it becomes guaranteed and I will call you lazypants out on it.

Rad = wolfman
but why 40% doe? Only 40% limit is not increasing the option year by more than 40% over the highest guarantee year on >15M right? (which is dumb anyway, but whatev)
Edit I had that backwards, but you still reading it wrong. 40% increase max on <15M

40% because the contract I was looking at was >15%
You are misreading the rules.

I vote we get rid of all options.
Some players practically insist on player options.

I'm tired of free agent negotiations when people are line stepping constantly. It's a headache. Just offer more money if you want the player. Stop trying to screw your fellow Spacetopians to save $700,000 of fake money or to sign some 34 year old lefty with a 5 FIP.
Orlando had the only actual legal / non-shitty offer I saw this morning.

do simulation baseball players have rights?
Mr. Radpants

Fine. The buyout was less than 10% of the highest contract year so still illegal.

If it was, then you're right.

How do you even look at what other players have offered? I thought the player just says who has the best offer right now?
Rad still wrong doe. The buyout is supposed to be 20% of the OPTION year salary, not of the HIGHEST year salary.
But it only has to be 20% of the option year not highest year.
RAD should just take his own advice and offer more money if he wants the player.
And I hate speculation based on what you see in a player's response to your offer.

I really hope this contract offering issue fixes itself by 2058. I can only offer $490K per contract, and on top of that, I can only offer 1-year contracts.
you want some 490k guys? It'll only cost you 1sts and 2nds. Look at my SWEET AAA TEAM

Maybe my owner just really hates me and I'm on a short leash, so he won't let me spend the big money or lock guys up for longer since he plans to release me at the end of the season.

Is your roster full?

Isn't the issue here that you're out of money because your budget dropped significantly? That's not going to fix itself and it's only going to get worse for you if you tank (or are truly awful) this season. No one else has had that issue other than you and given I just bid up a bunch of the IFAs you wanted it's only going to get worse.
I did have something interesting happen last night when I offered a four year (2+2TO) deal to a guy along with about $1M in incentives. Because the base contract was only $1M you can't have incentives that equal that in 17. Not sure if this was possible in 16 (I never tried it) but it was a nice "you cheap bastard, don't do this dumb shit" reminder to pay attention to the contract structuring, specifically bonuses.

Bring up some turds to get to 25 and then spend your money.
Then he'll have to pay the turds half a million each too 
I think if this was in reality tho, Lloyd would just commit suicide at this point.

My budget may have dropped $20M, but I still have the 11th highest budget in the league at $134M.

just waiting on that helicopter money from Janet ' @OU11 ' Yellen.

That's what the player wanted before we had to redo everything so I went with it again. It's no secret who this guy is (one of the many international FA that showed up in the FA pool) so I'm hedging my bets if he sucks I don't have to waste my piddly budget on a guy riding the pine and if he's good I've got him for another two years. Not all of us can offer Redbeard $20M AAV or sign Bish to $50M contracts like you dirty HAVES so you have to get creative.
By the way, @OU11 why didn't you process the Ploeg extension when you redid things? Now he wants almost $1M a year, which is fine, but I thought you had processed those when you did all of the pending FAs and IFAs.
You should probably just quit on him, btw. I still got 20M+ to burn.

Why? I'm going to make you pay as much as you're willing to waste since I too have $20M and nothing to spend it on.

Save that $20M until August and trade for Boys!

Nah, I'm sure one of my PREFERRED TRADING PARTNERS will have something of zero value for me to waste that money on just to piss off my owner instead.
He only wanted a double TO because Tavaris gave him one.
Well he gonna have to pay someone a half million.Then he'll have to pay the turds half a million each too
I think if this was in reality tho, Lloyd would just commit suicide at this point.
Double team option legit AF with some mystery 25 year old with no stats.
That's why I offered him some non turds! Take a look at that Turkey Mountain roster, Lloyd, they'd beat Miami that's for sure.

And just think - one of us idiots is going to be paying him $20M AAV for 2+2 BABBY!!!
Slimy AF no matter the circumstance. We all a little slimy sometimes though. As long as it's not TO+PO.
Don't count me out.
