Oh yeah. I was in the middle of updating the Postseason image when my wife wanted to head out the door, so here it is.

Congratz Cubbies! I'll get you next year.

Thanks, man. But it was really just a matchup to see who gets steamrolled by the Dodgers.

FYI, I'm on vacation this week (actually to Chicago... Go Cubs!), so I'm gonna have to leave the strategies up to Girardi. So don't wait on me for any sims.
 
Wow, can't believe I made it back to the world series. I get rewarded by having to play the Dodgers. Good series/season TOR.

Puig is hurt again. Don't know how I feel about the signing. He was productive, and probably helped get me to where I'm at, but I don't like the deal going forward. I'd be surprised if he opted out, but maybe he's expecting another huge deal or something. Winning this year was worth whatever future salary problems I have.
 
Congrats to the Orioles and Dodgers! Let's go O's! #TeamALandAnyonebuttheDodgers.

That's what whoever signs Trout will feel a season from now.

Yeah. Plus, there's a certain satisfaction from fielding a competitive team with a lean payroll. Not that you have a choice with a penny pincher of an owner like some of us have, but still, in a minimalist, masochistic sort of way...it's satisfying. :p

Notes: 5 games into the World Series and the Dodgers lead 3-2. Next sim will be just a game 6 sim to allow for a game 7 final showdown if it happens.

Gratz Doyers. There is no joy in beantown.

On the market:

2B Brandon Drudy
LF Josh Elander
OF Marcell Ozuna

They would all come relatively cheap (think A ball lottery ticket).

Sim: Apocalypse.
Date: Nov 4, 2020
Notes: The Dodgers done did it to the AL again. Congrats FMT to winning the World Series in your first year of GOBL play. Arbitration begins, make your initial offers so we can move on quickly.
14 day sim tomorrow.

Welp, guess it was a great season just making the WS. Still don't know how my team has managed to do so well in the playoffs.

Puig exercised his option, unsurprisingly, so hopefully he ages well. The big shocker was Britton voiding his deal. Makes literally no sense since he's not going to pitch at all next year. That's 6.5 Mil I wasn't expecting.

Scouting director retired, this is going to make things pretty interesting. I wanted to replace him, but he seemed good enough and I wasn't ready to have a new guy come in and tell me all my guys were terrible.

Big off season for your AL Champs.

My owner was kind and only took 2 million of my profits from this last year but stiffed me 4 mil from my anticipated budget for next year. I wouldn't know what to do with myself with a massive payroll and mega money to spend.
 
He wants me to see Henderson Alvarez to an extension. Henderson Alvarez wants 11.9/6 for 71.4 million. He is 30. LOL.
 
My owner congratulated me for a "huge upgrade" at Catcher last year.

Owner is asking me to upgrade the Catcher position this year.

I have acquire a CY Young award winner. Wonder if Kershaw will take a discount to come to the desert.

Maybe he likes sunsets as much as Greinke.

My owner insisted I sign Ozuna. Now he wants me to upgrade his position...
 
Brent, I'm sadly going to relinquish the Royals. Met all my owner goals and had a blast, but I have a move coming up shortly and working wild hours this month.

Sad to see you go but life happens. Good luck with the move! I might be doing that myself soon, although I could never let anyone mess with my D'Backs ;)

since I'm late today, I'm going to hold on the planned 14 day sim until tomorrow. Give everyone time to finish arb offers.

14 day sim has been ran. Tomorrow's sim will take us to the opening of FA I believe. I'll make sure there is nothing between that. I know arbitration will be worked, dont think there is something else.
 
Conley and Fernandez were #1 and #2 in NL Cy Young voting.


I guess that's the only good thing this year.

Oh shit and NL ROTY Galvi Moscat!

Any interest in Ozuna? Arb hit me a bit hard and I need to move some salary. I'll include a prospect with him for whatever minor league scrub you want to send for him.
