I started in 2020 and am now in 2056. I auto-play all games because I prefer the GM/team management side of the game. Now I'm stuck with an owner who is signing existing players to long term deals without my knowledge and forcing me to spend money when he wants me to cut money.
I set my financials in 2020 with yearly inflation to 2-3% so 37 seasons in the best players now make around $100 mil. My budget is $860 mil but he wants payroll cut to $450 mil. It makes no sense. I'm ready to quit and start over because he's controlling all scouting and development budgets as well and not maximizing them despite the fact he made over $200 mil in profit last season.
I did end up signing that DH for 3 years and $360 mil at the end of spring training because no one else offered what he wanted. He originally wanted 8 years at $180 mil/year so I got a "deal". But now my payroll is over $500 mil so my owner is unhappy that I followed his orders and signed his player he demanded and it caused me to go over his budget. It's really annoying. He's even threatening to fire me in my mid-season update because of it.
PS: I've won 9 straight world series...
