You bidding on him doesn't piss me off. He is going to a team who won't be near the playoffs so it is like he doesn't exist anyway.

I don't get the issue here. In a silent auction, someone can also decide to just bid their available cap space on one player. This Free Agency process is the system we're going with for this offseason. After everyone gets an opportunity to see how this plays out, then we can vote on another proposal for a different system. Once we began this Free Agency, the players up for bidding and the system are set--we won't add to these tiers or change the process while we're in it.

Only a fool would bid over 24.6 million on Suzuki.

Drew VerHagen was not on our Free Agency list, but he has now signed with a MLB team. Personally, I don't think we should change the Free Agency list now that we're already in the process, but how do others feel? We could vote on whether to add him to the third tier in Free Agency this year or he would be available in a DMB Player Draft (in the same order of the Amateur Draft) of those remaining free agent players with a projection for the upcoming season before the signing forum opens.

In case it helps, it is 6 PM Central time right now so bidding will close in about 3 hours.

How's that even possible? You had 39.2 and then pulled off a shady last second trade being the piece of shit you are totaling 44.2. It there yet any shady trade that we all missed?

Please keep the discussion to this thread. The posts on the bidding forums should just be bids. Reminder, teams can bid more than the current cash they have available. They would have to get under by the stated deadline after bidding closes. |

They would have to get under by the stated deadline after bidding closes. Teams will be able to bid on someone even if they're at 50 players. However, they'll need to get under immediately if they win the player because that would take them over the limit. Teams can also bid more than the money they currently have available, but they would also need to get under the salary cap within an hour if they win the player and that takes them over the salary cap. |

Not sure where the post went but that was a meltdown for a guy I didn't even get and is going to a team who had even less money.
But I would like to add there is no rule about making deals.

I didn't delete anything, I just moved the post from the Free Agency bidding. There are a lot of players closing and I'm trying to pay attention to timestamps of the last bids--not any arguments.

This would be rounded up to 2.8 million. The minimum salary increment is $100K. |

You’re calling an anonymous person a piece of shit over a player you had no interest in 24 hours ago. In fact you said everyone was stupid for bidding that high. I suggest you have a drink, apologize and move on with your life. It’s a sim baseball league. Have fun but at the very least don’t be a dick. |

After tier 1 bids, Oakland and Colorado have spent more money than they have.
I do not understand the logic in letting this occur during the FA draft but once this year's process is completed, we need to prevent this in the future. Unless I am missing something, it looks like we could make a maximum bid on every player, choose one then release the rest then pick them up at no cost on the waiver wire.
Appreciate anyone who can tell me what I am missing.

Appreciate anyone who can tell me what I am missing. You're not missing anything. That's because this Oakland bozo made 2 trades at 8:50 to fee up money to *TRY*.. I say *TRY* to sign the best free agent and did whatever he could to do as such. We CAN NOT have teams acquiring and dumping something to move salary at the 11th hour because it's SHADY AS F**K and a trash move. That's why this type of free agency won't work. If you think this type of garbage move was ok then you're not paying attention to what this game should really be. and you're part of the problem |

I have to say these last second trades made by Oakland weren't really how this should be intended to be like. I would agree that it wasn't a great look. This makes me rethink things a little bit. I feel like there's a lot of collusion going on and some of these teams are a little too close for comfort with each other

I am not sure what you mean about the waiver wire stuff. |

Listen, El Chapo, if you think the crap you pulled last night should be part of the game, you're seriously the issue here.

I am not sure what you mean about the waiver wire stuff. I was looking at the google doc sheet for the available funds. Not sure how trades are considered "accepted" until they are approved by the league but I am open to someone showing me I am missing something. I just think we have to plug the holes in the rulebook if it allows any team to bid more money than it had entering the FA draft.

It will be interesting to see what sort of team Colorado fields after he drops 14.4 million in salary. If my reading of the rules is correct, he will actually have to drop at least 28.8 million; because he will continue to be responsible for half the salaries of the players he waives unless they are claimed. No?
