[Armor and Sword]

Lot's of trades in my franchise. Major update coming tonight. I am in August. The Marlins are in 2nd in the East but a full 10 games out of first. We are sitting 2 games out of the wild card with 4 teams tied for the spot ahead of us. We are currently in a 3 game set vs one of those teams in the Dodgers. Cole Hamels has struggled in his last 2 starts going 0-2 and giving up 10 runs in 11 innings!

Logan Morrison is still leading the NL in batting.

Statistical update coming very soon along with player movement recap.

Just got the game today and started a franchise with the Nationals. Played first game against the Cubs and won 8-1. Some of the notable highlights were Michael Morse hit 2 home runs 1 of them being a inside the park after the right fielder dived and missed so it rolled to the wall. Strasburg went 5.1 innings and had 7 K's, and Harper had a poor game only getting 1 hit.

[Majingir]

It seems like all my arbitration or contract renewal guys never accept contracts. Even if the offer I make, has their interest bar at the max.

Don't understand how I lost arbitration when the player was asking for 11M and he posted ERA above 5.00 the season before!

Reasons like that are why I'm now 2M over budget so I can barely make moves.

How can you see how much cap space other teams have, cause seems like every deal I make, unless the other team loses salary, they won't want my guy. Even if I did some random deal like offering them Granderson for a F potential minor league guy
