[Porter]

Beat out by 1 million dollars for Faria...

oh well.

[OrioleMagic]

I offered Serra 4.1M for 3 years.

I would have offered McBride and Faria 18-20M if they liked my org. Oh well...

[missionhockey21]

Players take lower offers as we've seen in the past (this and other leagues.) And whether it's coincidence or not, it seems like often with past teams.

[Fishercat]

Yeah, the players often take lower offers for no apparent reason.

[OrioleMagic]

I can definitely see Philly being passed over for a obvious contender...

[Fishercat]

Nah, being a contender has nothing to do with it from my experience. If they like your organization, it's an even field.

I know that a while ago, I was trying sign a good, aging OF (Tyler Sabb) and a good, aging RP (K-Rod). I got Sabb, even though Houston offered a lot more. Chicago got K-Rod, although I offered a little more. And Houston got a player Chicago was going for with a lower offer too.

[DMBZeppelin]

Faria, McBride, Sanchez, and the return of Serra = a very good off-season for the Padres. My guess for them taking less is the fact the Padres won 101 games. A few seasons ago when the Pads were horrible. I remember giving more money to guys and getting passed over by them.

[Dry1313]

I didn't overpay and I wasn't going to.

Maybe I'll get something better next year...
