Unfortunately the AI is terrible in negotiating buyouts. You could offer a 50M with a zero buyout and the AI would jump at it.Evas wrote:I think the proposal is a huge step in the right direction. Much better more straightforward than the current setup. I love that it lowers the burden on what needs to be watched for.
My thoughts on each rule:
1. Seems good.
2. Not being able to offer a contract again until free agency seems too harsh. What if a team is trying to extend a very young player? I think no negotiations for the rest of the season would be fairer and easier to govern. I don't think anyone wants to track that sort of thing over multiple seasons...
3. Perfect.
4. No problem.
5. Do we really not want to be able to negotiate multi year deals that covers pre-arbitration and arbitration years? My understanding of the general feeling of the group was that no more than 1 year of Free Agency could be covered by a contract with a player who had never before reached free agency.
6. I like the vesting rules. But not the Team Option buyout rule. I thought we were counting on AI being able to negotiate? What's the need for this?
7. No problem.
