I stand by my observation that the Intl FA budget code is broken.
PS The team has won the pennant for 7 years in a row, with 4 WS wins. At this point, we have the best record in MLB, and have won 11 in a row. I'm reasonably certain that we'll be returning to the playoffs.

Even if you zero out your INT FA to zero & get the credit for the Draft money spent difference = you are still negative projected balance. Again where did you think you were going to find the revenue to pay for this spending? I did not get a response on that. I think the game should not even have let you allocate the budget for that spending in the first place and I'm surprised you were able to do that in the off-season from what I can see on the screen. In commissioner mode I can override things at my wish but, I always get a warning when my projected balance is in the RED like yours. I do not play solo so I have no idea if you get these warnings or not.
