Some players have signed.
3B Bob Bailey 23 yo 3.0 stars 4 x $120k
LF Willie Stargell 25 yo 4.5 stars $1.5m/6yr $250k AAV starts at $220k ends at $280k
Fans liked these signings. Both were arb eligible. Fan interest is now 96 with a +16 modifier.
Fans didn't notice the following deals.
C Orlando McFarland 27 yo 1.5 stars 1 x $36K
3B Danny Cater 25 yo 2.5 stars 1 x $25k
Still pending LF Lee Thomas 29 yo 2.0 stars 1 x $75k. I think he isn't worth it but he won arb last year for $70k.
Also pending is RP Orlando Pena. I don't recall where he started, someone moderately ridiculous and I offered, I don't know, maybe 1 x $70. He countered with 1 x $1.2m. Guess he showed me! He's making $72k and spent last season in AAA with a 4.04 ERA. He is 33 yo and 2.5 stars. I'm short on backup RPs so I offered arb of $75k.
Pending FAs Bob Friend and Smokey Burgess are unsignable at this point. I don't want to sign Jim Piersall.
C Jim Pagliaroni shows up as a potential FA. Age 27 3.5 stars currently making $142k
Danny Cater, Jim Piersall, Jim Pagliaroni
