I actually bailed on Robles two or three sims ago. I was just talking him up so one of youll would overpay for him.
He's essentially dead to me.
Bailed on his PO. Bailed on a verbal agreement to a contract at the last minute when it was time to make it official. And now he is stalling on making a decision as we head into ST. There goes an entire half of ST that he wont get reps in for whichever team he goes to.
He's proving the type of person he is. I dont want that kind of cancer on my team. Good riddance.

Lloyd pulling an ether here. Please Lloyd don't hurt 'em.
I pulled my offer ($120M) when I decided to blow the team up. Looks like we all screwed Robles.

Just to double check, it is free to add guys to your ST roster today right?
I called up like 5 guys for my ST roster, but I can't afford to pay them. So I am hoping we're in the window where calling them up doesn't count them towards your 40-man and allocate $490K to their salary.

Those predictions are from like 10 seasons ago. Tapley is going to have a monster year for Dublin.

I was going to post that I couldn't see how that's against the rules
I apologize @NML. I didn't read the post-arb part of it. Thought that was still pre arb.

Yeah, it's kinda dumb but whatev. If it's ok with the league I'll start taking advantage
of course you will
I backed off that until the cum dumping debacle of 2053. If cum dumping is allowed then I'm double optioning EVERYONE!!!
I would honestly prefer double option contracts if people aren't sure how long they want to keep a player. Paying a 40% penalty on one of these high value pitchers would be a fair outcome. Dumping them on a dummy who is willing to take a 3rd round pick for that load to the face basically has the potential to fuck the free agent market.

I backed on when we started allowing people to bench starters to tank.

Can someone explain this double option nonsense to me?

Robles confused the heck out of me. I had the highest remaining offer on the table for like 4 years, 20 per. Then last sim he asked for 1 year, $23 mil.
I figured the OOTP logic didn't play the one year rebound contract game, but I wasn't positive. Ended up offering him two years high AAV, figuring someone would get him with a 3 year deal. Glad it was Travis, though.

I offered him 3 years at $10m just in case you shitheads panicked about each others bids and pulled out.

Reel e like the length of that deal and the way it's structured. Curious how many pulled their $200m/6 yr offers

Tony and Llyod at a minimum.

I had a five year (one was a TO) deal at $120M ($24M AAV) but I had to pull it when I decided to go full Riverboat Captain™.

Holy crap can we ban vesting options yet?

Yes, let's ban a completely legitimate form of contract.

A max to vesting options might be a better way to go. 25 isn't a bad number, but I feel like someone did 30 games for a starter? That's a bit high since you could probably just skip two starts and not qualify.
He's within the 20% increase on the option year though, so it's structured correctly. I think I might prefer if we did 20% of the average salary of the guaranteed years...
Currently, you could jump one year up a lot and then add in one or two option years at a high amount. This is exaggerating, but you could structure it $30m/$2m/$2m/$35m TO/$35m TO with no intention of paying the option years. But a player is seeing $104m/5 years, when in reality it's $34m/3. A $40m/4 year deal with no options is probably the better offer, but I don't think it would ever be accepted.
