S3SL 2022 Free Agency: Round 1 (7/29 Now EST to 8/1 at 11 AM EST)

[missionhockey21]

DO NOT SEND IN OFFERS UNTIL THE CORRECT TIME

Same format as last year. This period will be 7 days in the game. Keep PM's to a max of two. Players may not like your team for whatever reason. And if you message me with enough time ahead of the deadline, I will reply back that they did not even take your offer into consideration, that way you can offer to someone else. I can not withdraw offers on the same day (round) they were made. Nor can you increase an offer made during the same round, in other words you can only make one offer to a player during each round. And if you have more offers than cash, well, that's your fault.

All offers are entered and the bidding is blind. The player chooses his team essentially. Players sometimes will not listen to an offer for no other reason than the game is set to not let teams overload via FA and sign all the top talent there. It's pretty much random from what I heard but it doesn't have to do with your record or anything like that. This is why it's best to get your offers in early in case a certain player or two will not listen to your team's offers.

With a moderate free agent class, I've decided against any major limitations on offers other than all teams are limited to a max of 40 million dollars of offers being on the table. Obviously this only applies to teams with 40 or more million dollars to spend on free agents. And if you offered player x 10 million to lower your available total to 30 million, if he signed elsewhere you can offer that 10 million again to someone else, but if he signed with you your total left to offer is 30 million. Make your offers in the following format for my ease

Format is as follows:
Team offers Position Player x amount of years for x amount of cash per year
Florida Marlins offer 3B Joe Crede 5 years at 5 mil per
Florida Marlins offer SP Josh Beckett 5 years at 10 mil per
(Included in parenthesis in subsequent rounds any players that signed with you so it is known to me easily)
_____________________________
Total offers: 15 million (10+5, length of the contract does not matter)

If anyone has any questions, post here and I am sure someone will help you out. And good luck.

I cannot predict my schedule that far in advance, so don't flip out should I not be online to get a quick results thread posted.

Trades can still be sent in, but you have to keep track of your finances if you are bidding to the limit. If you can't do this and plan to be spending as close to the limit, I would advise against it as it will affect your cash total and I don't want to be updating everyone of how they stand with trades that go through.

The trade with Texas and Houston is still in the process of getting votes.

I will mail you a dollar if you make the FA class, or ammy class nicer. For reals.

[missionhockey21]

If all the sim league exclusive folks here get active on the baseball side, I'd be game for doing that and getting a dollar.

I'll throw in 17 cents, only if you pass my trade though.

I will make every attempt to post in the O's thread and monitor the rest of the baseball threads.

Simming a bit early as there has been a lot of time for offers and I don't think I will be around later much.
