2040 Free Agent Signing Period #1 (Days 1-10)

[Molina00]

1) All offers must be sent to me through PM in the following format:
Team-Offers-Pos-Name-Years-Amount-Per Year
Ex: Rangers offer SS-Michael Young 5 Years @ $5,000,000 Per Year

2) Offers received before the stated start time will not be accepted.

3) Offers received after the stated end time will not be accepted.

4) You cannot change your offer once it has been submitted. You can bid again however if you feel it may not be high enough.

5) Any player signed to a major league contract during FA will not be eligible to be traded until June 1st. Any trades sent in involving those players before that time will be ignored.

6) Trading during Free Agency is allowed but you are responsible for your own FA money situation.

7) If a player does not like the offering team, I will inform the GM via PM and he will be able to bid on another player assuming there is enough time for me to do so.

8) You can retract your offer on a player, but he will most likely not listen to any more offers from you for the rest of free agency.

Financial Rules
1) If you want to offer $10 million or more on a certain player, you are limited to 3 of those types of offers. Two of them can be between $10-$15 million while the 3rd one can be up to $20 million. If you are outbid on the player, or the player doesn't like your team, you will be able to offer on somebody else instead. If I see that you are trying to work around the rules (ex: multiple 9,999,999 offers) I reserve the right to cancel bids.

If you have any questions regarding the rules please post or PM me.

Starts: NOW

Ends: Wednesday (July 13th) @ 7 PM central

Day 9:
Athletics sign 1B-Sean Griffis for 5 years @ $3.95 mil per year

Wow. How did everyone let this man get this player for so cheap?

This has probably been the most interesting free agency in recent memory as everyone seemed to either overpay to get somebody or got them at a bargain rate.

[HollywoodLeo]

I like how the initial emails are always so hostile. "Fuck you, (other team) offered more money than you'll ever dream about!!!" but then the 2nd email after they sign is so respectful. "Sorry, going to sign elsewhere. Good luck on your season!".

[Kingdom]

Yes yes Molina, I was not prepared to let the bitch go! Now I'm throwing him in a pitch black cellar to rot.

His career numbers blow.

Anyways Correa comes in and will be some power off the bench. Being 38 I don't want to over expose him as a starter if I dont have to. Isn't going to be that bad even if he dies as I should have plenty of money left over for additional help.
