NEXT SIM: Tomorrow (Saturday)*

NOTE: Tomorrow is FA1. I'll give you minimum of 24 hours to get in. So SIM will some time after 3p.

Double check all the trades... not fun.

my trades look good

[Clay]

A lot of guys who didn't get jobs last year hung them up on Jan 1. Don O'Finegan... one mediocre season in his career.... doesn't play in 99 and hangs them up at age 34.

[BradZ]

Stay hard Jim Newlin!

Additional NOTE - Please start trimming your minors to 25 and keep an eye on your DFAs. These are 16 day SIMs. Be aware.

It's difficult when the number of suitors for that type of player is only a universe of 12 teams.

And guys price themselves out of jobs. I wish this game had the logic that would allow guys to play for less versus sit out.

Wow, that's a damn shame. But he went out a champion.

Just saw the HTML. See you again in a few weeks, Ian Sigler.

That's the biggest issue, imho. They don't even come to their senses during the season. It'll be August and some guy will still want several million dollars to drag himself off his couch and play a few weeks of baseball.

[Delandis]

Checkmate gone at 34 as well.

[BradZ]

Some guys will take far less than their posted demands if teams will just offer them.

[Ryan]

Extra work for sure...

But what if we had an auction for the guys left sitting in FA at the All-Star Break?

Silent style. Then Clay could enter the new salary and place them on the team.

Just an idea.

[Carlos]

Independent League.

Sorry.

[Carlos]

Setting up my depth charts/line ups. Planning a bit.

Good lord this team is gonna be awful. Just awful. You're welcome, Davenport.

Oh well.

[Matt]

Thanks to the teams in front of me for letting me keep my German. I really appreciate it.

We're looking into possible citizenship/name changes.
