I realize I am behind the times in playing 23, but I'm committed to my dynasty.

It's 2045, I've won 100+ games for four consecutive seasons. No World Series title, unfortunately. My owner is ready to fire me.

His biggest beef? I have not parted ways with "overpaid veteran" Jeremy Luke. Now, Luke is 35. He certainly is a veteran. However, his stats for the past three years:

2043: 51 home runs, 138 RBI (both led league). .284 batting average, .365 OBP, .598 SLG. 160 OPS, 6.4 WAR. Won the MVP.

2044: 54 HR, 149 RBI (both led league). .299/.397/.628. Led league in SLG and OPS. 173 OPS+, 7.5 WAR. Won the MVP.

2045: 60 HR, 145 RBI (both led league). .338/.441/.684. Won the triple crown, led the league in OBP/SLG/OPS. 194 OPS+, 8.8 WAR. MVP voting has not happened yet.

In 2043 he made $21,150,000. In 2044 he made $19,550,000. In 2045 he made $18,600,000. He is the 5th highest paid player on my team.

I have him for one more year at $18,600,000, and then three at $8,500,000 with the third being a vesting option.

"Why is Jeremy Luke still on the roster? I thought I told you I wanted him gone. It's fine to have loyalty, but sometimes you need to cut ties to improve."

Personality: Jeremy is never too up, never too down.
Extremely popular both locally and nationally.

What the heck are we doing here? Has this improved for OOTP24?
