I'm a little disgusted to see Víctor Carrillo sign with Okinawa for 3 years @ $12.5M, when I had offered him 3 years @ $15M (his asking price) and he told me I was, quote, "way off on the money", and needed to come up with more cash. So much for being high in Loyalty.

Congrats on landing Gilbert Murray. He was a monster for the time I was able to have him on the field last season.Dinosaurs wrote:Welp, I'm going to have to buy my owner a few rounds of Scotch for dropping the big bucks on two $20 million dollar a year deals.....
I was in for a while, but his injury history scared me off from going too big. Less than 400 PA over the last 2 years is a bit scary.
But the injury setting are going to be reduced for 2027, so it might not be as risky as it seems.

Wow. Those two big contracts last sim just made the Dinosaurs a lot better. And at only two years each, they're extremely reasonably from a team perspective. Thinking this may be the year Fargo makes a move in the Great Lakes Division.

Well I am pleased that the demands came down for our targeted free agents. We signed 6 free agents to what we see as reasonable contracts and all should be significant improvements over what we trotted out last season.

My "team" is projecting a 10 million drop in revenue due to a severe decrease in season ticket sales. My plan is to ignore that shit and over spend on a temporary basis (no long term contracts) in an effort to get some wins for the fans. I am hoping that we get close to .500 baseball and the fans like it enough to come out and watch.Akira wrote:My owner actually increased payroll by $6 million...now that all the big FAs are gone.Coqui wrote:I need to fire my accountant.

Yeah I was initially trying to grab Mercer and was in on him until the asking price jumped above $35 million, and then was left with a pile of cash that needed to go somewhere so I figure if I can get at least 6 WAR out of the both of them, I'd be about breaking even on the cash spent.John wrote:Wow.

Adding Rains creates a slog of left handed 1B/DH types on my roster, but he's probably playable regardless of pitcher handedness.
The Dinosaurs will score runs this season, the big question will be if the back end of the rotation and the bullpen will take steps forward or not as they are filled with a number of young players.

My charitable new owner apparently doesn't consider me a charity case. Although he doesn't seem to mind taking a loss, considering he transferred $5m to the development budget giving the team a negative $4.49 for the season.Akira wrote:My owner actually increased payroll by $6 million...now that all the big FAs are gone.Coqui wrote:I need to fire my accountant.

Happy I got Hou Hao on a minor league contract. I know not a major signing, but my scout really likes him and my last one did too.

Signed Bullfrog to an extension, He came down drastically from his 20 mil year demand he was asking for all last season.

I was able to sign Vincent, Mercado and Watanabe for fairly cheap (It is the Trendsetters' method after all).
I do have some money to spend, so if someone has some contracts to burn, I might be interested. Particularly Catcher or Infielder.

Your sad fact of the day - PEBA has 20 years of history and Reno has finished 4th, 5th and 6th (thank you Yuma) in all but three seasons. The Zephyrs finished 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd in seasons 2017-2020 (all playoff appearances). I have devoted a considerable amount of time in hopes of finishing in 3rd pace this season. Sad.
