No Free Agent signings?

[robster1225]

I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to be signing free agents, but I have a news items that Washington signed Florention Corulla. Not trying to call anyone out, just wondering what the deal is.

diesel is cheating.

j/k

I think what happend is that diesel offered the extension before FA's filed, but the player didn't decide to sign until after he technically filed for FA. I view this as a re-signing since there's nothing I can do to prevent it.

While I don't think this is "technically" Diesel's fault... I think he should forfeit his 1st Round pick for the next 3 seasons.

Does the player still show up in the "Free Agents" list, despite having a offer on the table from his former club?

Here is what happened:

Corulla was released by Los Lunas the final week of the season, on October 5th. I saw this and immediately offered him a contract. The first playoff sim went by, he didn't sign. The second playoff sim went by, he didn't sign. He kept saying, "I like your offer, but I am going to wait and here from other teams." He finally decided to sign with Washington on November 15th, over a month later.

The way I see it, since he didn't sign during that last week of the season, he should remain a free agent.

It looks like there's a bug with the game that if a player has a offer on the table when the season ends, it prevents them from filing for free agency.

Or something like that...

I'm totally fine to do whatever in this situation. If the group wants to remove him from my team into the FA pile, I am 100% fine with that. I wasn't trying to cheat the system, and I even messaged Andrew about the situation over a week ago.

Actually, on the last file we had, he still was unsigned and I chose to "withdraw offer" because I didn't want it to seem like I was signing FAs when we weren't supposed to. But, that league file was never imported, so he signed.

I agree with Sully that it seems like a bug. I think the fairest thing to do is release him and put him back in the FA pool.

Sorry diesel, I don't remember talking about this or maybe I just didn't understand what happened at the time. Needless to say, I've been a little distracted over the last 2 weeks.

Thats cool. I don't think it should hurt my fan interest too much from losing him. And if I am scotch free in terms of his contract, then I am fine with you placing him into the FA pool next league file. He definitely won't be a Bat next year though....I'm sure he will "refuse to negotiate" with the Bats.

Thats totally cool though.

It shouldnt hurt your fan interest or relations with him. i can use the editor to move him to the FA pool without "releasing" him from your team.

Ok, perfect.

My fans are pissed that we let Lamberts and Rochester walk. :(

My fans got pissed that we let Juan Colchado walk. Juan Colchado?!?! He's a 37 year old DH who played for my team for 1 year.

In the 1980s the state of Maine had a large Guatemalan population.

I can understand why the Wildcat fans would be pissed. The two players you let walk are arguably the two biggest FAs. I guess they don't understand that Wilmington is small market.

My fans were mad that I let him go last year too. I guess he's a really likable guy.
