Here he is. The lowest common denominator getting his shots in.Jesus Christ. We can always bring IFA back if it doesn't work out. I think my fussy two year old is more adventurous with her food than some of you are with this game. Y'all treating a broken turd like a holy shrine.
@Mr. Radpants why did you release Bailey Moy and Augusto Vega? And why did Moy not pitch in 2086 or 2087?
They weren’t worth the money they were asking for, why?
Contact first team you say?
Oh yeah. I had a couple players that were either lost on IR or lost in the ether. They showed up at arbitration so I dealt with them there. I've been busy and tanking until now, so whatever it was I didn't notice it. Ultimately, though - Moy was asking for over $10M so I decided to move on. Cairo got a steal at that price. The quick-sign FAs are kind of lame, but we do love when we land one.
Vega has clocked negative WAR for two years in a row. He has 55 power with no position. I guess if he replicates 2085 over a full season and you're a contact-first team it could be worth it.
Spotted em in the sim after playoffs and offered a few times cause they wanted 5+ years while I wanted 1 or 2 yr deals.
If its against the rules to negotiate after arb, I'll note it and refrain in the future. Not trying to cheese. Every sim, the first thing I do is go to the transactions screen/FA list/WW.
Happy we were able to dumb down the game for you bud.Jesus Christ. We can always bring IFA back if it doesn't work out. I think my fussy two year old is more adventurous with her food than some of you are with this game. Y'all treating a broken turd like a holy shrine.
Btw, @Mr. Radpants @fignuts - I didn't realise we were allowed to sign free agents in January? Are there exceptions and if so what are they, as it would be nice to know....
People shouldnt be signed in January. Signing them in Nov is fine.
We arent. The loophole is I started talking the Chip series/once you out the playoffs. A few other released guys by FB got snatched up. KAB had 1 or 2 as well. The FA gate closes upon advance to ARB.Btw, @Mr. Radpants @fignuts - I didn't realise we were allowed to sign free agents in January?

right. read above. i negotiated on multiple targets. if these are against the rules to go after released guys in the FA pool, then re-release em. But I'd like that salary money returned.
Am reel e trying not o cause a kerfuffle this mroing.
I’m fine either way. Once the regular season ends some people just go into off-season mode and start looking for players. For the most part the players signed are people who have been FA all year, so no one really cared. Some GMs start cleaning house early as well and release guys ahead of arb. You shouldn’t be doing hard negotiations with these players that last for months though haha. I’m fine establishing a rule like you suggested, it just takes someone policing.I thought it had been established now that it isn't in the rules. But I was just clarifying, because I've been burned for something similar before I knew any rules.
@Orlando @Karl Hungus - Can't we just establish a rule that you can only sign your own players back in the period between end of season and FA? Sniping other peoples cast offs before they reach FA doesn't seem great to me to me. Surely there's no need for this outside of signing back your own?

Boy ballon, B. cept dat no signings unless they previous played. too much to keep track. cut and dry this.I do feel a good general rule would be no signings(unless they're on your own team of course) from the last game of the world series until FA opens. Would negate issues like this in the future
You signed them illegally. Release them.You pissy I signed em or something?
It's pretty cut and dry: When Karl posts "FA is open" then offer simulation baseball players.Boy ballon, B. cept dat no signings unless they previous played. too much to keep track. cut and dry this.
The cycle of cheat>rage quit normally takes 3-4 seasons... Much quicker this time.did you not read i dont want to start a kerfuffle dingus? thanks for ruining my positive vibes. just git apprived for 600K loan. no co-sign. but ill go head and focus on this fake beisbol team all mroing to appease us spergs instead. Want me to get your snuff box out while we at it?
