S3SL 2028 Free Agency (Round 1): 12/19 at 2 PM EST to 12/22 at 11 PM EST

[missionhockey21]

FREE AGENCY IS A GO-GO

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, so if you send it in and the player does not have a problem with your team, it's entered for the round. 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.

I've decided against any major limitations on offers other than all teams are limited to a max of 40 million dollars to spend. 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.

Round 2 will be 7 days as well.

Hell yes.

I was looking for the GM Check-In before this!

[Kingdom]

Dynamite is all yours, Hafnelson

[Slyder]

offers in time to see how far i undervalue the market and how many players tell me to kiss off and not going to waste their time with Minnesota.

[HafDawg2003]

Dynamite is all yours, Hafnelson

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call
the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say.
"That's dynamite, baby."

[Slyder]

I hope McBride, Countryman, and Orvis all fall off the face of OOTP!

[Kingdom]

2 were on San Diego, so they literally were.

[Saber]

Not even marriage can stop Saber.

[Kingdom]

Uh oh, Saber has money again. West division shivers!

[Saber]

Not even community property laws can slow down Saber.

[BrewerBall13]

nor can community property law finals...even when he doesn't read half the question he still owns it...

[jpants10]

if a free agent is domiciled in another state, does that make him quasi-community property?
