2051 Free Agency round 1: Days 1-10

[HollywoodLeo]

Team max cash has been cut in half. Keep this in mind before sending offers.


1) All offers must be sent to me through PM in the following format:
Team-Offers-Pos-Name-Years-Amount-Per Year
Ex: Rangers offer SS-Michael Young 5 Years @ $5,000,000 Per Year

2) Offers received before the stated start time will not be accepted.

3) Offers received after the stated end time will not be accepted.

4) You cannot change your offer once it has been submitted. You can bid again during the next free agency period however if you feel it may not be high enough.

5) Any player signed to a major league contract during FA will not be eligible to be traded until June 1st. Any trades sent in involving those players before that time will be ignored.

6) Trading during Free Agency is allowed but you are responsible for your own FA money situation.

7) If a player does not like the offering team, I will inform the GM via PM and he will be able to bid on another player assuming there is enough time for me to do so.

8) You can retract your offer on a player, but he will most likely not listen to any more offers from you for the rest of free agency.

Financial Rules
1) If you want to offer $10 million or more on a certain player, you are limited to 3 of those types of offers. Two of them can be between $10-$15 million while the 3rd one can be up to $20 million. If you are outbid on the player, or the player doesn't like your team, you will be able to offer on somebody else instead. If I see that you are trying to work around the rules (ex: multiple 9,999,999 offers) I reserve the right to cancel bids.

If you have any questions regarding the rules please post or PM me.

Starts: Right Now

Ends: Monday (September 2nd) @ 9 am central

Shit, whens that?

Cespedes looks sexy! I'd drop $20M on him, but Boston would just upset me in the playoffs anyway, so why bother............

[Kingdom]

Why so serious?

[Mach]

he mad

[Trendy Bastard]

I'd drop $20M on him

Really?

[Kingdom]

Apparently he also missed the memo where we have cash restrictions now :ohsnap:

[OrioleMagic]

I just checked this thread again. I forgot the smiley. I was not serious, just feeding the new rivalry between Boston and Baltimore.

I also thought the fact that I have Bonds, Stearnes, and Stargell with Horn about ready... Clearly, I don't have room for Cespedes, but his ratings do look sexy!

[HollywoodLeo]

Ben Rodriguez around the corner too

Where's the fast forward button

*Yawn*

[PhillyFan]

Advance it to tonight!

[HollywoodLeo]

Atlanta
Detroit
Kansas City
Minnesota
New York (A)
Philadelphia
San Francisco

The above 7 teams are the only remaining teams with money to spend that I haven't heard from (And Houston if you count their 3 mil)

I've heard 2nd hand Detroit is not bothering with free agency, I doubt Trendy wants to spend big since he's rebuilding, Shadow almost never sends FA offers.

That leaves Witlon, Mach (who I know wants to send some), JC, and Haf who if I hear from one way or another before the end of the night could likely prompt me to bump it. (Although I would feel more comfortable if I heard from all 7, even if it's just a statement that they're not sending in offers)

[HollywoodLeo]

I'm simming as soon as I hear from Witlon and HafDawg (or tomorrow morning if that never comes)
