2020 Offseason SIM 1 (Options/Arbitration) Complete - Next SIM Tues 1/24

[Delandis]

Damn. It looks like the higher demands has busted the trade market dam, wide open.

These trade blocks look good.

[Carlos]

Glad that worked out.

[Spear]

There is a new file out for Spear.

In my heart I believe that all exports/imports should be fine. In my head though I know it's best for everyone to work off the same file.

So please dload and export again.

Thanks Matt and to everybody else patiently waiting and now redoing their offers.

I downloaded and Manning has finally been deported from Canada!

Let the bidding war begin.

[Spear]

I'm not sure. It's just the original file from the switchover before we SIMd anything in OOTP '17. You already had $19m in player expenses for 2020.

EDIT...yes he's still on there.

Well if that's the figure when he's there, that's fine. I just want him off my roster and payroll as of Dec 1st.

[Z]

Alright I went back to the brand new '17 file with no imports yet.

Toronto had $19m in player expenses.
Maine had $1.8m in player expenses.
NY had $419k in player expenses.

The file is right as is. I will zip it up and post it soon.

I don't remember why Maine owes $1.8 million in player expenses, but I remember it was the number prior to releasing Alvarez. So I assume it is correct.

The one without Manning? Correct?

I don't have the file in front of me. Did Toronto and Maine finish in debt last year?

Could explain some of the owed money if it isn't tied to a player.

I believe we may have finished in some debt but I don't think $19M worth.

[Spear]

I just went through my transactions from OOTP 16 for players being released because that's what I'm assuming goes into the Misc Player Expenses.

Jan 2019: C - Zayne Abplanalp - $700K
Nov 2019: Manning, Donovan, Nelson ones (which should have occurred on Dec 1st when they filed for free agency).

[Matt]

I'm gonna have to go back a few SIMs and look at things.

This could take a bit.

[Matt]

Matt - I sent you a new PM. On the November 7th HTML transaction log, Donovan, Nelson, and Manning were all "released" before the December 1st date. Technically they should have been released to the FA pool on December 1st.

It appears I'm being penalized for those expiring contracts.

It only shows Manning having a 2020 contract with you. The other ones appear to be fine.

[Z]

I was wrong. Maine has them for 2020 and 2021, around $7m for each year. NY has them for 2020 but it's only $419k.

$5.5 million of those miscellaneous player expenses in Maine's case represent the released Ignacio Alvarez's salary.

They should be on there.

Not sure what the rest is.
