This will be the only tag you will get for the remainder of the offseason, so it is your responsibility to follow along with what is happening. Some of you are new to this process, so please ask questions. When in doubt check 1) Your manager's home page 2) In game email. Below is the offseason schedule, but at each step I will post what needs to happen during that step. 2022/2023 Offseason Schedule DO NOT MAKE FREE AGENT OFFERS UNTIL AFTER SIM #1 You are responsible for your roster and DFA.

ASK IN THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS!!
Also, development budgets can be set at any time now. Noticed that part was missed when updating everything.
Man, I got to start shoving all these decent minor league outfielders somewhere. I don't have room for them all.
Market size increases in Detroit. Not sure a large market can get bigger but I suppose it can. What effect does this have on my financials?
As for the financial issues in Boston a lot of players that were arbitration eligible were not tendered and are projected to be in the green with an okay amount to try and rebuild. Will put up a new trading block tomorrow. Just so I'm cler when were talking about the DFA what seems to be the big issue with it? I never noticed a large issue in Nippon but we also had a lot smaller rosters and offline well never really did too many DFA unless I really wanted to get rid of them.
I dont know if im 100% with this one but i think the only thing to be careful of with the DFA is that you lose someone to rule 5 draft.
Vulcan denied his option like expected... Paukovi landed as super 2. Lets hope I can resign these guys.
F'n Armando Flores decides to lower his salary expectations on this sim and now isn't comp eligible . Some nice vets are being let go by the Astros.
Trying to get a spreadsheet uploaded in my team news section. I posted the link but it won't me insert image/media with it. Can someone help me out?
Downside to 1 year rentals. When the have great years, i can't afford a multi-year deal. Bena, Yan, and others will hit the FA market
File > publish to web > start publishing > copy and paste the link in the forums > wallahhh spreadsheet.
Bena is a smokescreen, how much I wanted him to produce in Washington and never did.. The Jake aka you know, must really help him.
Yeah, he's had his best power numbers in Cleveland. Between Phillips and Price, i also just didn't have the roster space for Bena. Especially with Riley Brown out of options and a cheap emergency 1B/LF.
