    Does anyone else always notice that the free agency pool is always bare?

    I always notice when I am in a franchise that the free agent pool never is filled. There is always maybe 10 real players from each position and then a ton of fake created ones. It really bothers me. I also hate that when other teams around the league release someone from their roster, they never show up in the pool. It is always the same players, unless you enter the next offseason. I think this is a HUGE weakness for The Show. Every year I notice this and it is so annoying not having a lot to choose from in the free agency pool especially if one of my players gets injured and I need some depth.

    After a free years of my franchise the free agent pool includes Andrew McCutchen because no team can afford him.

        Has to be a carryover save. Have not seen that with any new franchise.

          Yeah, last time I checked, there were 3 bona fide ace types in the FA Pool - and no one can afford them.

          I'll have to check again because Profar disappeared (he was there too) so someone must have "found" $29 M/yr to meet his demand.

          That's good. Yeah it was in my carryover, but still...in those years, it was said that budgets jumped up and teams had too much money...yet...this happened.

          Hopefully these guys will get jobs when I go through the offseason in MLB16 in that franchise!
