    Player Expense Penalty - Arbitration

    I'm pretty sure I was told last season that releasing an arbitration-eligible player at this time of year will not cause the team to incur any player expense. But I've tried to release (AAA) MR Clint Vanstone twice after downloading this sim, and both times I incurred player expenses of $3M+ (Arbitration estimate was $2.4M). I have at least 4 arbitration-eligible players I'd like to release, but only if I don't incur this expense.

    A little help!...

      I lose 9 points of fan interest for trading Vizcarra.

      I'm now back under 40 fan interest.

      Only in California.

        Just release them and I will zero out the player expenses.

          I offered 1.5 million/yr for four years each for the scout Perez and the PC Deliriano.. and they sign for 600k and 550k respectively. We must really suck.

            Couple decent names in Free Agency this season. I think "Rock and Rock" and Harcourt are probably the names to get.... but I think people like Zimmerman and Dardon will draw a lot of attention. Broderick Joyce is out there too. Should be interesting. Lots of teams with money to spend.

              Question,

              When does the new money get added to our finances?

              The game currently has me at -2 million for last year... but according to the finances thread since I earned 5 million I should be 3 million in the black.

                Maine is losing a good chunk of it's core to Free Agency this year. O'Fallon, Caballero, Cuevas, Taylor and van Slyke are all heading to free agency.

                  The funny thing is I couldn't trade him for anything. I think I made 4-5 posts about him and don't think I got a single response. I wasn't looking for anything amazing. So the last year was a team option and I voided it to save the $3 million since I'm pretty deep with my IFers right now.

                    I had my 1B, 2B and SS all take home gold gloves today.

                    Second in a row for Mendez.

                    Pretty happy with that.

                      Looks like Wildcat SP Russ McEvoy will be a free agent soon unless I can come to terms with him on a deal.

                        My fan interest went from 55 -> 71. Well worth a 10th Rounder.

                          No wonder you are trying to move out of the GM role....
