wasn't gonna sadle the club with a 2x 20

Philly made 60 mill last year and has a payroll of 31 mill. They could have afforded to keep a star player

you've never seen me make that bid to one of my players, you wont see me make it ghosting either

I've made it when it makes sense. Team has Mac cash too. Instead they lose him for nothing. And s team with no gm gets even less desirable

[dougiejays]

So is expansion draft next?

[bigmark]

Roll call n expansion I'd assume ya

[Boston Red Sox]

Why are we expanding with already open teams lol

[bigmark]

fine by me if we dont expand. we can always add them later. just give all the prospects the teams got to TB gm that both teams had as a sorry we arent expanding gift of the open team he chooses lol

I was really looking forward to being in AL. I would’ve stayed as the Cubs if I knew we weren’t expanding. But makes sense.

No gm to tank on purpose and mess with the team settings to lose on purpose.

[Reddington]

maybe I can talk the wife into running a team for a while

[Reddington]

have to be AZ though, as pretty sure no one wants her in the NL East

Does seem silly to add more teams to a league with open teams.

Either Send the draft picks to the newest expansion teams Colorado and Florida Or send them to Florida, Philly and Arizona to try to incentivize new owners or split between all four.

The idea makes sense if the expansion drafting GMs were still around- they aren't.

That’s kind of the point, incentivize new ownership with a better farm system.

FWIW I hate this idea. The best answer is probably just to make them FAs and do a blind auction

[dougiejays]

But there isn’t a single GM who wants to jump ship to an expansion team?

if it wasn't for Maddux and Smoltz, I'd jump for either the marlins or Az

Just noticed Boston is only at $-5M? How is that possible? Is that the cap?

Is so, that's BS. He blew through $40M dollars he didn't have to beat me out last season. He should at least be docked a first rounder.

the game does it, Chris has to fix financials still

I must admit being in debt by more than 50 million is pretty impressive
