Offseason activities...

*I go with SlideX as the new sponsor. They'll pay $5,040 for each match and $19,500 for each home victory.

*I get CD Tellez as my Youth Pull. I needed a CD, but still disappointing that he's only lvl 21 when I have a lvl 20-30 range.

*I sell Grubbs for $528,000. He's 31 yrs old and will cost too much to renew. I bought him for $21,600 and renewed him for $28,229.

*I extend Pennington for 1 yr, $96,772. He's 32 yrs old, so this will give me the chance to decide if he stays with us to 36 or gets sold.

*I renew Arroyo for 3 yrs, $128,295.

*I renew backup MF Lynn for 3 yrs, $1,155.

*I buy Amateur Midfielder Stump for $24,613 and 3 glory. Good, young backup who can move into starting spot when Qualls has to leave.

*Tellez isn't ready yet, so I buy CD Betts, who has 68 defense and a lvl 2 Layoff skill.

*I waste $130,000 on the global list, which leaves me with just a couple backup Midfielders.

*I'm left with $79,984.
