Well it appears RF Roy Richardson accepted my offer, which leaves me looking for a good 2B in FA.

Top Free Agents:
1B Mel Brooks - The reigning RL MVP is on the market
SP Carlos Gonzales - The reigning CL PoY is also on the market.
2B Connor Daniels
SS Bob Bath
MR Denny Hennessey
2B Fred Lindsay
MR Jim Stokes
SS Christian Larsen
C Sam Harmon

It appears that there is plenty of IF talent in this FA period and I am able to make an offer to any player as 1B Mel Brooks and SP Carlos Gonzales are both asking for almost 10 million per year which is well within my limits.

I am extremly tempted to make an offer for one of Brooks or Gonzales but that would eat up most of my cap space and instead decide to try and sign 28 year-old 2B Connor Daniels. He will fit in much better since signing Brooks would leave me to bench my current 1B Lopez or play one out of position. I am also stacked at SP so I feel no need to sign Gonzales at this point. Daniels wants a 5 year deal worth $7,315,000 per year so I offered him almost 8 million a year to hopefully land him.

My other offers are to:
SP Roberto Padilla on a 2 year $1.55 million deal.
MR Denny Hennessey for 2 years $700,000.
3B Roberto Gomez for 2 years $500,000.
1B Sancho Lopez for 2 years $2.5 million.

That is all the action I have decided to do for this portion.
