Have the game on challenge mode so if I get fired I’m gonna be pissed after collecting some good prospects. My first first two year first round draft picks are okay but my last two first rounder picks are legit superstars in the making. Then I’ll have another too 5 pick next season and signed two five Star international free agents who are 18 right now.

Would be a shame if I lost all of this. If I don’t get fired this offseason i might have to change course a little and spend big in free agency just to stay .500 to please the jerk. Haven’t spent much in free agency so far and it’s 2021. Only guys I’ve bought were good relievers just to flip at the deadline for more prospects.

So my question is has anybody been fired and is it possible? And what was the reason? I’ve been tanking to rebuild the farm system since the marlins farm sucks but wish the owner would realize this somehow and give me the time I need. I’m pretty much set now and just need them to develope now.
I understand how you feel but it is fairly realistic for the entire field staff during a rebuild or tank seasons to be dropped in favour of a higher profile group just when the team is ready to win. AJ Hinch has been on both ends of that seesaw with Arizona and Houston.
