MLB the Show: General Manager options, and how to make full effect of them.

You'd offer this to a young player who has 3-6 years of time in the bigs and doesn't want to sign a long term deal.

I'd offer this to someone like Eric Hosmer in my Royals franchise because he's stated (Well, Scott Boras stated) he doesn't want to sign a long term deal. I haven't gotten this far in my franchise, but in real life you can still negotiate with a player up until the arbitration hearing date to get a deal done.

Here's a scenario: Let's say Hosmer wants $5.5 million and you're only willing to give up $3.75 million for that one season.

You offer a halfway amount to settle, but Hosmer and Boras refuse because they believe Hos is worth more.

Then the case heads to arbitration in Feb and a middle party decides what to pay the player.

Just this past offseason Andrew Cashner went to arb with the Padres and won. He wanted $2.4 mil but the Padres offered $2.25 million. The judge awarded him the amount he wanted.

Id be willing to put a few hundred in a Scott Boras kidnapping fund. We can take care of him for the rest of his life. Just doesnt get to be an agent anymore.

They were seriously $150k apart?

Yep. That's what it said in the few articles I checked out to make sure I wasn't completely making it up lol.

I'm having a hard time with contract renewal this year.

Last year, there was a date on the calendar and you could click on it and choose "renew contracts" or something like that--it would take you right to the screen where you can select the 80% or more salary marker.

This year, I can't find the date that allows you to click on it and do that. Did they change something about that this year, or am I just missing something?

It's the last week of the off season.
Any player who didn't take your contract offer earlier is then bound to take that final contract renewal offer.

-If a team signs a player who has been offered a qualifying offer, the team from which he was signed will receive a supplementary draft pick, and the team who signed him loses it's first round pick (see Draft).[/spoiler]

---

How do I know if the player has been offered a qualifying offer by his former team? For instance, I am trying to sign a player who has "Qualified" next to them but no offers on the table. They are not worth me losing a draft pick to sign, so I don't want to mess this up

I never saw an answer to this and this is the same problem that I am having--does anyone know if you can tell if a FA got a QO?

If they have 'qualified' next to their name, I always assumed they were given the offer.

I'm not sure if this is in the game or not but in real life the wedge picks gained when a free agent declines a qualifying offer and signs elsewhere prior to the June draft - those wedge picks are tradeable.

Bumping this thread.

I haven't went through franchise yet so I don't know what has changed, but this thread is useful to me every year.
