I too have just not had time to get on at all for a couple of weeks now and think it's best to stand down from the Rockies.

Sad to see you guys go. Red Sox and Rockies GMs retired.
Do appreciate letting me know at the start of the off season so the CPU can actually do its thing, though.
Sim: 8 days
Date: Nov 29, 2018
Notes: Salary Arbitration is complete. Check your outcomes, get ready for free agency to open tomorrow.
Side note: The Indians have no money again.

Will Myers is on waivers if someone needs a power hitting 1B.
Open to trading Brad Hand away if someone needs a strong bullpen lefty under control for cheap. Looking for starting pitching prospects.

Nick Franklin is probably available.
And if anyone needs a new scouting director, the ghost of Ken Caminiti is out there.

I'm looking to trade some of my excess cost controlled OF types for similar middle infield types.

Does the assistant GM matter at all in a user controlled online game? I've never really been able to tell

I'll listen to offers on Kyle Seager.

Solarte is on the block for a good AA/AAA prospect.

There's always one absolutely ridiculous international FA isn't there?
Not every year. But it would be a sad FA year if there wasn't one imo

God bless the AI! Taking Wil Myers and his $83m contract!! So happy!

My HOF ballot is especially loaded this year.
Still doesn't include Sheffield though.

I was kinda surprised I got him that easy. I didn't offer as much as he originally was asking for.

Harvey ignored my offer, fuck it lol get a first round pick rebuild the farm.
Wonder if any of your coaches have a relationship with him?

The off-season sucks when your budget is already millions in the red.

Could have been the salary structure. I'm a big fan of giving guys opt outs. I figure if they opt out of a backloaded contract I'm not paying for decline. Still, it'll be interesting to see how I manage my salary going forward. I absolutely can't lose Trout when his deal is up. It's amazing how easy building a winner around a guy like that is.
Probably was that, I had no opt out and a team option at the end.

Story of my life. Maybe for OOTP '20 I'll pick a team with a budget.

I'm signing AA minor league free agent starters with 23 POT and feeling happy about it because it's all I can afford.
Purple Cheeto

There's only like one guy I want to sign and he wants a minor league deal with a bonus but I'm $66k in the red so I can't offer him that.
I think I found a way to sign him but ugh.
It doesn't help that I have no ML caliber SS/2B right now. Curse you OOTP aging system!

The Padres are in the mood for trading for cheap minor league starting pitchers. If you're in need of a utility guy I got a bunch, also have Christian Bethancourt, a 56 OSA OVR catcher and some bullpen arms to deal.

Well I'm out on Prieto. I went real strong and was hoping to make a big splash offensively, but I think my resources are better spent elsewhere. Got a couple small targets I was looking for this sim. Still have plenty of room to fill a few more holes.
On the trading front, if anyone is looking to shed salary, I've got space I could use if the return is worthwhile.

I love that I am leading in WAR gained just by dumping Peralta and Headley

Man, should do like 2 one day sims per day during the beginning of FA. Would've definitely countered Roark. I can do AM, you do PM?
I think there are a lot of people that wouldn't be able to update twice in a single day.

And they would still be in a better position to negotiate, because we would only have advanced two days as opposed to three.

Confirmed.

I love it when guys reject your offers when nobody else is interested in them. I guess enjoy early retirement?
As long as it shows up in your pending offers, then they are just holding out for a better deal. So if no one makes a better offer, they will accept with you at a later date.
CosmicQueso

Only sensible thing for you to do is withdraw all those offers. Especially from any guys I may be trying to sign on a Padre budget.

Some guys still refuse to sign, though less often than it used to.

SEA sends Paul Fry MLB
SD sends Carlos Asuaje MLB

Brent, you might have to run that trade after you sim the week to allow Fry to show up in SEA maybe?

LOL.
So deep in the red can't even do a neutral dollar trade.
Oh well. Thanks for trying. We'll see if we can restructure the deal to make the money work.
