I'm confused about Reggie Abercrombie here.

Doesn't he have 4 more years of team control?

Also, hes in his 2nd year making 300k, he cant be offered an extension until he hits arby.

regardless he should have 4 years of team control remaining and this extension wasn't needed and not allowed in the first place.

if that’s true I prefer to not pay him.

I opened the page and it said 1 year

[Braz (Rockies)]

Admittedly a lot to catch onto here. Even for a baseball fan.

Everyone’s been helpful tho and I’ve been enjoying it at a low pace

Yea that's misleading by the game. You should be able to see in another column "automatic" (for 2 more seasons) which means auto resign to 300k, "arbitration" (for 3 seasons) which includes an estimate ranging from 300k to 9M depending on ratings, and "free agent" meaning this is his contract year. We don't allow extensions for players that still say "automatic".

I'd say we cancel the extension but the game doesn't let you do that. So next season we will edit the contract to be 300k for 4 seasons. We should edit the contract to be higher in the last 3 seasons and we'll have to look at comparable players' arby rates.

We got you.

[Braz (Rockies)]

Thanks.

So for example Arbitration (Estimate: $2,640,000) is what I see for Tulo. So will I Get him back via arbitration on another one year deal? He’s declining much higher.

Same for cano

Yea, that means he's going to get about that much next season, though be prepared if it jumps up a couple million due to rating boosts at flip. I think Mark (CHA) saw it happen to one of his players this flip.

Still much better than paying an arm and a leg for another season. I'd say let him ride it out this season, and try offering again next season. But be prepared to pay up 12-15, or even 20M to keep him

Yep 2 if my guys were only supposed to get like 2 mill per in arbi. They got like 4 to 5 mill each. And there were no ratings jumps.

Yes.

Automatic resigns mean you get to keep the player next season, at a fixed (minimum) salary.

Arbitration means you get to keep the player next season, but the salary varies depending on their ratings. Better players will cost more. You can offer an extension if you want.

Free agent next season! means he will walk unless you offer and he accepts an extension.

It’s not something a vet GM would do but 3 x 2 really isn’t that bad for Abercrombie considering what he might get once he hits arb

[dougiejays]

Especially if he pours points into him now

Good point, i didn't even look at the ratings.

I'd say we revert the contract to 300k next season, then make the other years the same rate you offered. In the end, you probably either break even or saved money.

I did camp him out. My intention was cheap starter

[Braz (Rockies)]

Okay so if I have arbitration on Tulo, Cano and Marcum I’m in a good spot. No offers needed

[CSCommish]

OK
