2092 Season Thread - The Wolfe of NDLB

[TheGobOne]

Offseason File is up. Reports and S+ to follow. THERE IS A SIM TOMORROW. This sim goes through Arb only. Free Agency opens up after the 2nd sim.

- Reminder that your budget is set to last year's regular season revenue. The email you get from your owner is incorrect. Check your Finances page to see the correct number.
- The new Qualifying Offer is $16,922,265 (down from $17,769,803) based on the average salary of the top 125 players.
- We only have 9 full ballots for the End of Year Award Voting so I will just use the AI. Maybe we can try again in a few years.
- Watch for any potential Winter Meetings polls to go up. Voting on those is your chance to help shape the league.
- Please read the offseason schedule and let me know if you have any issues.


- The following teams had excess cash (cash over $50M remaining after revenue sharing) converted to stadium seats (this is something I'm going to do default for all teams going forward):

• Baltimore - $30.72M (rounded to $30M) - added 6000 seats

• Charleston - $18.42M (rounded to $17.5M) - added 3500 seats

• Cleveland - $31.85M (rounded to $32.5M - added 6500 seats

• Rhode Island - $7.71M (rounded to $7.5M) - added 1500 seats

Ok some miscommunication. We've finally got it sorted. Tomorrow's sim will only be to awards. Both Arb and FA will happen on the 2nd sim. Because the sim was late in the day it's not fair to go through arb so quick. Apologies for the mess. Just want to get it right so we can repeat it in the future without worry.

Did I miss a post about the ghosties returning?

I think I said something in slack but they had to be turned on first sim due to empty minor league teams. Is what it is and I will admit defeat in the battle for having real players on all our teams lol.

It’s funny how the league has changed over the years. Not saying bad or good but there was a time trading was crazy. Maybe we have smarter owners now?

There is no need to take a ton of risks when you can sign the World Series MVP for peanuts off free agency 2/3 of the way thru the season.

I agree with you. To much talent just sitting there. The fix? Injury’s up?( had to deal with that this year) pass but maybe I would rethink about it haha. Expansion teams that also got shot down.

Ya tried it a couple season ago. Came close but didn't pass. That's the best way to get the trade churn going again imo.

Whoever voted me 2nd for GM of the year, I appreciate you accidentally clicking on my name instead of who you meant to vote for.

I think hitters are def easy to find, always kinda has been, but you couldn't find a replacement level starting pitcher in free agency after march last season

[qazhby]

Also dumb to me how the guys will continue to ask for $10 mil a year when its like June. You would think they would drop their demands pretty low once they realize the haven't got an offer in months

I got SP Vic Rico 11-8 3.32 era and SP Larry Boyd 13-5 3.50 era both in April.
