Yeah, I definitely have a problem w/ the QO's now...
According to the real life CBA:

Under the new rules, if the team that loses the free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient, based on its revenues and market size, then the selection -- if and only if the lost player signs for at least $50 million -- will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A of the 2018 MLB Draft. If the player signs for less than $50 million, the compensation pick for those teams would come after Competitive Balance Round B, which follows the second round.

In my current league, Harper, Britton, and Daniel Murphy became a FA w/ a comp attached. Murphy signed a 4-year, $80m deal w/ Toronto, so the Nationals got a Comp. Balance Round A (1st Round Supplemental) pick, which fits the CBA, but...
- Harper signed a 1-year, $21m deal w/ the Rockies on March 1st
- Britton signed a 1-year, $27m deal w/ the Angles on May 15th
Under the CBA, because the players signed for less than $50m, both teams
should've received Comp. Balance Round B (2nd Round Supplemental) picks...
Instead... Baltimore and Washington each received Round A (1st Supplemental) picks. Come draft time, this is what happened:
1. In the first attachment, there is somehow a gap in the 1st round between #19 and #25?
2. In the second attachment, I'm the Braves w/ the 1st overall pick, and because of the screw-up with the CBA detailed above, Washington got a 1st Supplemental for Harper signing a 1-year, $21m contract w/ Colorado when they should've gotten a 2nd Supplemental.. meaning the Nationals got their choice of THREE picks before I even got to make my 2nd round pick when they should've only had 2 (their original 16th pick + the Supplemental 1st for Murphy).
Couple this w/ the fact you're allowed to offer multiple QO's to the same players (when the real life CBA says a player can only be offered one QO their entire career)... then you can only imagine how this would affect the lesser teams like Oakland, who aren't blessed w/ owner changes w/ a bigger budget.
I'm considering turning comps off completely now until this is addressed...
