FA Logic just as bad as trade logic?

[DJeterFan2]

So very simulated a franchise with the dodgers until the 2016 off season. The dodgers were in back to back world series, winning 1 out of 2. I offered Giancarlo Stanton a 7 year, 280MM deal and he turned it down to sign with the Jays? The Jays had no openings in their OF and offered a 4 yr 100MM deal. What gives? I mean Giancarlo is from LA and this would've made him the highest paid player in the game.

Who is in the Jays OF?
Who is their DH?
Do they have other openings in the IF that one of the OF could play?
Who is in your OF?

Isn't 30 mil per the max you can offer a player?
How did you offer 40 per?

I was thinking the same thing, but without having the game in front of me, I couldn't remember

Could have swore 30M is max too

He probably mistyped $180. That's still a shade above the yearly offer from the Blue Jays.

I was able to offer 7 years and 272 MM to be exact. Still. Pedersen wasn't living up to his potential so opted to go after Stanton. It just seems a little unrealistic to leave that much money on the table. Especially when a competitive team is giving you the offer.

I used to think that as well, but playing as the Yankees I can offer 40 million. I believe, that free agency is based on market size.

The Yankees 40 million seems to have the same value as the Marlins 20 million which has the same value as the cards 30 million. I believe it was one way they attempted to fix the issue with teams not using available salary.

Just curious again, who did the Jays have in their OF and DH?

Nice...I never realized that!
Which teams are the "X-large" market teams...do you know?

Bautista retired early, but they have Reddick, acquired by trade in the 2015 season, Gose, and Sierra/Pompey( B Pot 65. OVR prospect) in their OF. Double E is their DH.

I would say that he decided to play for Toronto thinking he had a better opportunity to be an everyday player then.

I for one like the idea that players just don't always sign for the most money on the table, and have other factors on their mind.

I'm not sure who the x large budget teams are or who has the ability to offer those deals.
I know that as the Yankees many times the asking price for free agents is 30-40 million.

Using 30 team control I see they ask 15-20 million from other teams.

Like the op stated. Many times I'll offer the amount that blows everyone out of the water and get spurned for shorter less lucrative deals.

There sometimes feels to be no rhyme or reason since the team can be a perennial loser.

I do agree the logic does need some work. The cpu/user should battle it out for the large free agents before hitting the small names.

Well...good to know anyway...thanks guys.
Damn....I thought there was a way to override the 30 mil cap.
(not that the Mets have that much in payroll anyway.... )

What sane person would leave over $175MM on the table? I guess I'm just bitter. There's always Carlos Gomez.
