S3SL 2021 Free Agency: Round 1 (5/14 at 8:00 AM EST to 5/16 at 10:00 AM EST)

[missionhockey21]

DO NOT SEND IN OFFERS UNTIL THE CORRECT TIME

Same format as last year. This period will be 5 days in the game. Keep PM's to a max of two. Players may not like your team for whatever reason. And if you message me with enough time ahead of the deadline, I will reply back that they did not even take your offer into consideration, that way you can offer to someone else. I can not withdraw offers on the same day (round) they were made, so if you send it in and the player does not have a problem with your team, it's entered for the round. Nor can you increase an offer made during the same round, in other words you can only make one offer to a player during each round. And if you have more offers than cash, well, that's your fault.

All offers are entered and the bidding is blind. The player chooses his team essentially. Players sometimes will not listen to an offer for no other reason than the game is set to not let teams overload via FA and sign all the top talent there. It's pretty much random from what I heard but it doesn't have to do with your record or anything like that. This is why it's best to get your offers in early in case a certain player or two will not listen to your team's offers.

With a moderate free agent class, I've decided against any major limitations on offers other than all teams are limited to a max of 40 million dollars of offers being on the table. Obviously this only applies to teams with 40 or more million dollars to spend on free agents. And if you offered player x 10 million to lower your available total to 30 million, if he signed elsewhere you can offer that 10 million again to someone else, but if he signed with you your total left to offer is 30 million. Make your offers in the following format for my ease

Format is as follows:
Team offers Position Player x amount of years for x amount of cash per year
Florida Marlins offer 3B Joe Crede 5 years at 5 mil per
Florida Marlins offer SP Josh Beckett 5 years at 10 mil per
(Included in parenthesis in subsequent rounds any players that signed with you so it is known to me easily)
_____________________________
Total offers: 15 million (10+5, length of the contract does not matter)

If anyone has any questions, post here and I am sure someone will help you out. And good luck.

Round 2 will be 5 days and go from 5/16-5/18. (This could change.)

*The site will be updated before FA begins.
*Teams are allowed to send in trades during FA (whether or not they will go through depends on the offers you have submitted.)
*This doesn't necessarily mean that the season is to begin very soon. I still need to boost activity on this site and that's my number one priority.(So if you've never posted outside of sim league walls, doing so could help the season begin quicker, we are a baseball forum after all.)

Woo, thank god you posted that notice in BIG ASS LETTERS or I woulda sent in a bunch of offers.

[missionhockey21]

I do that so I can ensure I get all of my initial offers in before others are sent in (since I can only offer to players once to be ethical, unless no other bids are made on the guys I offer to.)

But I have now, so feel free to start sending them in if you need to.

Not that I want to partake in free agency, with me trying to unload veterans to cheaply ran contenders, but.... there's someone I really want. If I wasn't poor, I'd go nuts on Montero just in spite of the guy who runs Florida but shall never be named.

[missionhockey21]

Your quest for spite must be fulfilled, go nuts.

[Kingdom]

Only if you take some of my salary away.

[missionhockey21]

Sure, you trade for some nifty prospect, deal him and a contract off for Billy York and then we can get to Montero.

[Kingdom]

I can't even get better than a 9-9-6 pitcher for Hage, and you think someone will deal me a good prospect? Pssshh, what league you in, brah? How bout you deal me a good prospect for Tiano. Tiano, back in FLA? I smell magic.

[missionhockey21]

Samuel Moore and Billy York for Wayne Hage, now there is a deal that could lead the Pirates to the big dance. Samuel Moore, just as undeveloped as he was when he was dealt for Tiano, only now his secret weapon is even less talent. Watch out world.
