- FA is officially open.
- Don't forget the new rules:

1. If Team Option is used the Buyout must be the difference between Option year and highest Guaranteed year.

2. Only one Team Option may be used per contract, and it must be in the last year of the contract. This prevents people from stacking Player Options after the Team Option.

3. No contact extensions allowed before 1st arbitration contact.

The Guides wish Travis Fisher and the New Orleans Dukes best of luck.

DFA: WAS - Sorry about that. I exported this morning but I don't think it made it.

Well finally replaced my team trainer. My former retired, and he has arguably the best in the BLB. Now I have a far below average trainer...should be interesting to see the impact.

SP Travis DuFour signs with Toronto for 1-year $786K...He wanted a 4-year $6M deal not too long ago. His signing lowered my Fan Interest but I'm happy he landed with a solid club. Continue building that HOF resume old man! Another former Bats SP signs, Jody Richards for 1-year $5.6M to Indianapolis. Another great signing. Even if the Clowns don't compete this year he should be easily flipped at the deadline. Maybe even back to DC?

The Guides wish Travis Fisher and the New Orleans Dukes best of luck.

New Orleans has been busy. According to the Off-Season Summary, they have improved 12.5 games.

Only in Carolina...

As usual we aren't very active in free agency instead focusing on signing extensions and keeping things in house.

The rescout bumped up some of our kids including a debut of a guy that I've felt is a diamond in the rough since we drafted him. His prospect status won't last long though as he will be in the bigs this year.

Thanks Brad for putting in my players I signed to the roster.


Didn't export, forgot. Like I said, we are done. Lets get spring going!

Two very minor signings for us this SIM: OF Seth Race returns to serve as a 4th OFer (hopefully) and IF Bobby Lopez will serve as the seldom used UIF. Cheap deals to both that filled obvious roster needs. I'd still like to add a starting corner OFer, but that will probably have to come via trade either before the season or at the deadline if we decide to take the patient route.

Excited about adding DuFour. He will likely slot in the 5th spot...

We're going to roll with this...

SP - Zach Reeves
SP - Robby Aten
SP - Dave Dunham
SP - Brayden Jameison
SP - Travis DuFour

We also signed P Iván Bojórquez for our bullpen, which is our third veteran addition for the pen this offseason. The other additions were Beniquez and Jon Vejar.

Gives us a bit of a surplus of bullpen arms. Would be open to trading MR Willie Rivera, Todd Ezzell

BTW - Brad's upload of the HTML fixed the contrast issues for me?

I'm now getting the white background with green text. When Matt was doing it, I had the dark template.

Am I allowed to fine players for being stupid?

Since I changed my settings everyone said it was white with green. So it changed back again? I feel like I would have heard something after last sim.

It's so strange, but after you changed it, the pages updated for me when I'm on a pc, but my phone/tablets still showed the old grey on grey on grey. After I ran it today it updated on both platforms to the white-ish scheme.

What settings do you use? I'll copy those.

As far as I know the only change I made to the default setup was choosing the less irritating in-game skin.
