JT Stahl is also available.

And im trying to get everything in order but also I don't know what free agent prices will be like so its very hard for me to lock down what costs are going to be. Im not planning on winning this season anyway but I don't want a team that is worse than the 03 tigers.

Yeah in general you want to be real good or real bad. In the latter case the house rule is you have to be vaguely competitive so people don't start rolling 18 year olds out there to tank for draft picks.

Basically if you don't think you can contend for a playoff spot most people try to trade out ML talent for prospect and dump payroll into the prospects budget.

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.
I haven't gotten any tc's either but that's because my ml squad is hot garbage

FYI you want to usually win at least 60 games, we have had a few seasons of teams winning closer to 50 than 60. It would be nice if everyone won at least 60 games.

Thats not my fault that is a newly inherited team and it was a disaster. Also there still 5 team worse than me so no. Just like in Dimaggio, I have to keep pace with the bad.

Fortunately, the people found a mighty Rosenthal, called Trevor.

My entire rotation minus Jumbo Cho will be free agents after this season. Two are definitely leaving and old (Xavier and Moreno), one is getting ancient (Strickland) , and one is Wellington Borges.

So suffice it to say if anyone has a SP locked up that they might want to trade, let me know. Or if you'd like to rent a Moreno or Xavier.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Since I've lost McKay Ray to free agency, I've decided to enter a rebuild and trade away guys like Cliff Burnett, Jamie Wang, Yeico Mota and Fred McGehee. Preferred prospect positions would be pitching, CIF and COF.

I believe you actually can't offer more than what a player is asking, it just defaults to what they're asking, so you got lucky!

Agreed, that's why I extended Richmond Heartthrob Alex Mendez (idk why he only wanted 3 years) (or why I didn't give him more anyway) (or why I didn't backload, now I have like no money this season, welp goodbye prospects)

I'm looking for catchers and relievers and whatever else you have lying around.
