Well, we landed Jeremy Windley but it was at a hefty price. I only hope that he has the affect on my pitching staff I was planning for.

Projected budget room issue...My projected budget is being shown to be less than 500K. I fear that money is not being returned to my budget room after contracts are signed. Windley accepted a different deal, but since the game isn't registering that I had a contract offer out to him...it never unfroze the money for me...preventing me from pursuing anyone else or even upping existing offers when they have been superseded.

So I go from the favorite almost every sim this offseason to signed by someone else in 1 sim? Great, just great! And yes, I'm noticing the same thing with my money now that Windley signed like Cali said, kinda puts a handicap on people since we can't put the funds we need to sign anyone.

I made one last hard push figuring that he would sign this sim. I added another year and made it a player option. You should've seen my previous offer that included a no trade clause and a team option 7th year that still had you being the favorite.

Enjoy!

Wow. Windley got paid.

Tell me about it.

My intent is to better my defense throughout the middle of the field and hope that Windley's handling of Windy City's pitching staff carries over to my squad. He's only 27 so he is still coming into his prime.

Catcher, in my opinion, is the single most important position on the field and it is why I went after him so hard (that's what she said).

Are you noticing this with every player, or just Windley? Windley was signed on the last day of the sim so I'm wondering if it needs to click over to the next day before it frees up the money.

He's not bringing McEvoy with!

I'm just kidding, I hope he works out for you. He has all the ratings in the world, just needs to put it all together.

Too rich for my blood!

Damn, and I thought my offer for Windley was high.

[HungryB]

I'm just curious but for those who had offers out there to players that recently signed and didn't get that money back, how are we going to address this? Hopefully we don't continue simming since Windley was offered a pretty good chunk of money from me. If what Andrew is saying is true, what if Stiver signs with a team in this next sim and we never get a chance to offer him anything because about half of my budget was offered to Windley? I don't see why the money wouldn't instantly be put back anyway.

I am thinking that may be the issue as well. Although, I think it used to be instant.

I agree, that could seriously be a problem. Like Andrew asked, has anyone seen this with any other player?
