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 second arbitration contract. Players become eligible for contract extensions once they have two "Received a 1-year contract worth a total of $xx through arbitration." in their player history.

Is it possible to do daily sims during the FA period? Only reason im asking is because ill be on vacation during most of it if the schedule says as is.

[Matt]

We have to stick to our every other day normal schedule for the first 3 in order to let people have time to get their exports in. We move it up to daily for 4, 5, and 6. Feel free to PM a commish with contract offers and we can submit it for you if possible.

Some could still be re-signed but this projects to be a really good FA class. And we haven't even seen the players who are declined arbitration and the IFAs.

Seattle's bench coach, a 40 man call-up and a Triple-A pitcher all retired.

Check out the trade block. http://www.simgamingnetwork.com/foru...23-trade-block I probably won't bring back 90% of these guys so if you want them now instead of competing for them in FA, let's talk. Not looking for much at all.

Said it in the chat already but congrats to Sully! Thanks a bunch Matt! This might have been one of the more exciting/fun playoffs I can remember. #LongLiveTheBLB

It's too late this year plus they are still releasing patches. I'd buy it for $13 though because our seasons take 3 months so we could change in the next season or two.

The deadline for some votes are looming. If you haven't voted visit that forum.

A disappointing end to a great season in California saw us take home two awards...

Mike Morla... 6th straight Designated Driver at 2B, and for the fourth straight season finishing in the top three for Stout Slugger
Dave Rizer... 3rd straight DWI at 1B

On the contract front...

C.J. Wilkinson voids his $12 million player option
Bob Contreras voids his $5.4 million player option
Norm Deiwert voids his $2.5 million player option

Hopefully this will allow us to be fairly active in free agency again.

A disappointing end to a great season in California saw us take home two awards.

-1B Andy Ulloa won his 2nd consecutive Stout Slugger, and Designated Driver.
-LF Manny Nieto finished 3rd in Stout Slugger, and won his 2nd consecutive Designated Driver.
-SS C.J. McNichol won the Defense With Integrity award.

I thought CF Nick McLaughlin had a chance for the DWI but lost to Windy City's Dave Goen, who took home his 4th straight.
