Reminder

14. CONTRACTS

• If Team Option is used the Buyout must be the difference between Option year and highest Guaranteed year.
• 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.
• Players cannot be signed to contract extensions until after they have received their third arbitration contract. Players become eligible for contract extensions once they have three "Received a 1-year contract worth a total of $xx through arbitration." in their player history.

And the reality comes to Dallas... The young core is set to be FA at the end of this season.

RF Williams --> $126M 7 years.
3B Frost --> $81M 6 years.
SS Moore --> $71,5 5 years.

This is one of, if not the best, FA class ever.

I stand corrected.

Might have to rethink this whole scouting/player development thing...

This international class is impressive.

Shifting my focus this year to just rebuild from within.
I don't really have the budget or roster to be a top contender.

I would have loved to resign Ledbetter and/or Vondada but both were asking for more than I could afford.
Ledbetter has been outstanding for me the last two seasons he played with us, but he wants an insane amount of money for someone who is OAF.

Davis Chooses Golf Over Baseball

Monday, November 25th, 2019

Washington multi-sport star Erik Davis has decided to discontinue his baseball career and focus full-time on a career as a professional golfer. Despite his love of baseball, Davis says he likes his prospects on the links better than the diamond. "It was a tough decision, but I think this is the right one for me," said the Oaks first baseman. Davis will join the National Tour next season in the hopes of obtaining a Pro Golf tour card.

Not a top prospect but someone who did show promise as a potential BLB player, Davis will be missed.

I think we decided for this to be just a one year injury and player vould back to the Roster after.

That's good news.

I thought it was only for BLB players and Top 100 prospects... I could be wrong.

I could be wrong too then...

Collusion anyone??

I wanted to post a video or picture of kids dancing but it feels weird searching for that, then saving it, then posting it, and finally inviting others to view it.

So here's Cam Newton with the dab.

Funny that CF Nelson Herrera wants to play anywhere for $700,000 after asking us $6M to extend his contract... Good luck boy. O.P. Williams and Jed Davis are in the House now to try to fix your awful -1.9 ZR at CF last season.
