i swear the rule was under 5m there was no buyout % but its all good. if Corey wants make it a 1M buyout.

This.

Not sure if it's in the actual rule now, but it was at one time.

Why wouldn't all buyouts just be the 25% and keep it uniform across the board?

Don't make people think about what options and what %'s, make them all the same.

Seems to be a trend when guys firesell lately.

On the player options topic, Michael Strong turned down a $13 mil player option and signed for 4/22.8 total.

I think it's just random. My owner did the same to me last season but I wasn't trading anyone away. Think he said something along the lines of since I wasn't signing any FA's or improving the team he was cutting my budget back.

[shel311]

Is $217 million the largest contract ever?

Guessing not, but it's probably up there.

Labatt's baby!

He sent me a very nice email about how excited he is to play for Montreal.

Welcome home, Mr. Strong.

welp, swung and missed on every big name i went for.

[nick]

get 25% buyout on Varela's TO pls.

[GeorgesGoons]

welp, swung and missed on every big name i went for.

Same here!

Tried for Torres but LA came in over the top. And I was offering $2M/year over what he was asking for. Just didn't see someone going to $19M/year

[nick]

lol for the record, i dont think you can add buyouts to POs...

I thought you'd get him. I had already decided I wasn't offering him any more money last sim and was just hoping you'd go ahead and outbid yourself

[nick]

looks like ill have stuff to talk about today

[DRWebs]

That Nick Byrd contract...whoops

[nick]

Juan Torres is the best signing. I was hoping he'd stay under the radar. Even tho hes older hes built like a machine and can SS/3B. ugh. so sour I should of offered more. and Varela had me on "favors offer". So close ot making an impact

I'm guessing he'll opt out after this season, and I'll have gotten solid value for his production.
