You don't have to trade for any $$ if you don't want to this year. Next year, you will just start the year at $0 cash (or less if you lose money this year). The point was for it to be a punishment without crippling your team entirely. Had I fined you the full $85 million you would have no money for resigns, extensions, or any chance of starting off next season with any cash. ----------------------------- Commish Heis Right, but if I trade for cash down the stretch or this offseason, if you're just going to dump it then I'm out. That is the point of my punishment, literally. I am not preventing you from trading players, I made sure you had money to resign players this season, you just aren't going to get to get out of the full punishment by selling off players unless you sell off enough to cover the fine. Moving us foward! ----------------------------- Commish Heis

You're welcome back with open arms should you change your mind Brandon Warne----------------------------- Commish Heis I get that rules are rules but even $5m for a fine for simply having 1-however too many is plenty. That's still 10% of your possible cash. I can't play if I can't do anything in FA for 3-4 years. It's just not worth it.

Can we create a loan forgiveness plan for Bdub and then look at restructuring the penalty phase for being over? off the top of my head, we could do:
1st offense warning 2nd offense $5M 3rd offense $10M 4th and subsequent, open for ideas on this. Something other than money. Some season long probation maybe. Not being able to sign any off season FA that year for instance, or do any trades that involve the offender getting more players in that he has going out.
Can put some rules in place for frequent offenders. If you enter into 4th offense status, then the number of players you are over is the number of draft picks you forfeit. But theres a chance to reduce your status. If you have 4th offense status and go a full season without issue, you drop to 3rd. Go another year, back down to 2nd status etc.
Open for other ideas, but would be nice if we could create a tier system for frequent offenders that doesn't zap their cash, with allowing a chance for them to come off that ladder. During the '68 season that crashed, I had my first ever over the limit. Didn't think to check because I had never been close. Was also busy with life. And then when that cash fine came, it wiped out everything I had. A warning would have made me make the changes just the same. If I didn't, then I deserved a fine the next time around.

That's still 10% of your possible cash. I can't play if I can't do anything in FA for 3-4 years. It's just not worth it. For everyone: We created this rule to limit teams in large markets from burring MLB level players in their minors while also stock piling prospects. Brandon Warne I am not sure why you will be crippled for 3-4 seasons. I am simply saying that you can make trades involving money, but that money will be used to pay down your debt of ~$65 million between now and the start of the regular season next season. After 4/2/2070 your remaining debt will be forgiven. If you trade a player for cash on 4/2/2070, all that money is yours. I am essentially only fining you the $22 million you had on hand the day the fine was imposed (~$0.65 mil per player instead of $2.5 mil). This left you money to resign your current players and keep a competitive team. You're still able to call up your minor league FAs like normal and retain any and all you want, so your team isn't going to be crippled. You just won't be signing any players in the upcoming off-season but on opening day your debt would be forgiven and you're right back at it. morethanagame I give everyone ample warnings (July 28th said i was updating the numbers, then on 7/31 I made a post on both the forums and facebook about the fines coming the next day) and do this every single year after free agency and again around the draft when teams tend to be over. I am open to considering other options for a penalty scheme but there will be no warnings for offenses when announcements are made regularly about it coming. ----------------------------- Commish Heis

It has loaded now. However you missed my roster moves. Upon furthur review I think something got corrupted. Villalobos started a game, went 1.1 IP. Then I think O'Kelley faced 1 batter then my closer pitched 13.2! And then he pitched the next game.

Then I think O'Kelley faced 1 batter then my closer pitched 13.2! And then he pitched the next game. Nothing corrupt, I just missed your line up changes so the CPU didn't know what to do with your bullpen. Villalobos started a game because he was in your rotation, gave up a ton of runs so he got pulled. O'Kelley has no endurance so he tires quickly. Your bullpen was all tired so the game leaves the last guy it can in for the rest of the game unless they get hurt. Its a glitch in the game and cost of me missing the line up changes. No one got hurt so just make sure your changes are bumped to the top and I will fix them on the next simm ----------------------------- Commish Heis

From the office of the President of the Chicago White Sox: Since every team has the DH, the divisions certainly need to be realigned. And since the NL Central has 6 teams, and with the Brewers originally being an AL team, if a team must transfer over to even things out, it would only make sense that the Brewers make this difficult and burdensome move to such a competitive division.
