I also have taken to making my renewable contracts early. Sometimes you have to wait until arbitration is resolved to see where you stand. I’ve always been able to sign FA, I just haven’t been able to always sign the players I want.

Same. I've never had an issue signing a FA in the game.

I do like you do, anyone I want to re-sign that is contract renewable, I sign during the first week off the offseason. No reason in waiting around imo. I want them in the organization I'm signing them now. And guys I'm not going to re-sign that are contract renewable, I release in the same time period.

The only time I get "hung up" is waiting for arbitration hearings in February. Other than that, I know how much money I've spent and where its going, and therefore have the ability to sign free agents.
