Moneyball Free Agent Signings 2023

No, you raised it 70k per year to 1.47 m not 100k per year. Its moot now given chill’s upbid.

We have never allowed sub 100k per year bids during the leagues history, and have always interpreted the rule as 100k min per year

Phil’s upbid on Donovan is insufficient. Must be a minimum of 100k per year.

The bid is correct. I raised the bid by $100,000 per year (exactly 5% in this case) for a total of $300,000 more over the three years.

Section 10.04 BIDDING: In order to obtain a free agent a team must bid more money per year AND at least match the years of the previous leading bid, OR must match the annual salary AND exceed the years offered in the preceding best offer (making sure to meet salary minimums for years offered). The dollar amounts of bids must increase by a minimum of $100,000 or 5% per year more than the previous bid, whichever is higher. The dollar bid does not have to increase if the years offered are increased. Teams can offer an "option" year, which counts as 0.5 of a year when deciding what team gets a player.

Looks like Phil referred to the Keller up bid when teamnasty was talking about Donovan.

Gg cut and paste an old, incorrect bid for Keller

Looks like Phil referred to the Keller up bid when teamnasty was talking about Donovan.

Mea culpa. You are correct. I guess I should avoid 12% porters while posting and doing math.
