Offseason 3 SIM Complete - Next SIM Wed 6/8

I wanted Padilla pretty badly, but I just knew you'd be in the mix. Such an underrated player. I offered more than he was asking for initially, but made the fourth year a team option. Then you blew my offer away. I had a chance to counter, but it just wasn't enough. Great signing!

I offered more annual money than Pat did, but I tried to get away with making the last year a team option, too. So Seattle presented the most guaranteed money.

It bodes well for the Kodiaks that Pat and I had a very similar target list. We're happy to finally put a real outfielder behind our pitching, and apparently didn't offer Osorio the right type of contract to replace Varga.

I just saw that Robby Aten retired just two months after Carolina ate the last year on his contract.

I wonder if he would have kept playing if not released or if Carolina ate money for no reason.

It's rare to see a team get bailed out by a player retiring. I remember it happening to Carolina before. I don't recall the player.

Did someone just update the HTML?

It wasn't me.

Maybe I hadn't refreshed. I don't know. Weird stuff. It changed the top systems list.

Guilty. I was working on some logos and player pics. Not sure why it would change the systems. They are always funky in the offseason though.

I give them less attention during the off season. It had Healey off the Top 100 since October. That didn't concern me, it just made me trust it less.
