I had this issue when I was playing the Royals (managed to sign Showalter after the first year). Everyone wanted extensions because we made a deep playoff run, but no one wanted to play for Showalter. He helped win so many 1 run games too. Had to boot him eventually because he was driving off like half the talent.

I'm not advancing at all today. Next advance will be tomorrow. Give people time to get their shit in order.
Also, the advance will only be 1 day, so as to give you more time to negotiate with draft picks.

Oh I thought it was just my poop tier internet giving me issues with the league file.
lmao
Well, I was considering unretiring Jackie Robinson so.....
Let's do it!!!!!
Are you able to drop him into a draft class with a different name?

yea that sounds cool actually
I mean, I could create him and just name him something else I guess. We aren't going to be doing that though.
Okay now you are pushing it sir

Everyone should join me in retiring Barry Bonds' number. I did that pretty early.

How do I make a draft list?

Go to Transactions in the League section, you should see Draft List next to Draft Pool.

If we ask the scout to do it freezes

You can set up a list manually. Then copy the list to paste it across all rounds. That way you can front-load the list to try and get whoever you can, and when it runs out your scout should just automatically handle it according to ez.

You should remove Russell Wilson from the restricted list so I can acquire him from Texas.
He's all yours.

Make Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, John Smoltz, and Greg Maddux coaches! Or force Bobby Cox out of retirement. I'll fire my entire staff if you do.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing with the draft. Do I add players to my watch list to better the chance that I'll draft them?
EDIT: NEVERMIND! I FOUND IT!

Fuck. My trip has no end in sight. I am going to come home and find the park burned down.

Are you guys positive that leaving your draft alone will default to head scout selections? My head scout is ranked excellent with amateurs, so I'm content to do that (outside the top of my board) since we can't really draft live if it's definitely going to work that way. Any source for that info would be appreciated. I'll look as well.
Confident enough that it's what I am doing
You running the draft at 5?
Can't wait to welcome the newest D'Back
Until he wants $10,000,000 and refuses to sign with your team.
My team fucking sucks why do I have such a mediocre pick
My team is awesome and I have the 8th pick.

Stanton for the 8th pick and half your farm system?
Done. You didn't say which half. I'm sure some of those rookie ball players can become great waterboys.
