Sign and Trade

MizzouRah · 10-30-2013, 11:17 PM

One thing that still bothers me from time to time when I see it happen is.. the CPU AI will give a player a contract extension and then trade them right afterwards.

I think it's an arbitration issue.

Right after 2027, Miami has a 26yr old stud who was making $3.8, instead of arbitration, they give him a 1yr $7 mil extension and then trade him for two minor leaguers and give the team $3 mil in cash.

It makes no sense at all to me.

Now my ace SP decides to run for office and quits.

It's going to be a LONG season..

It does to me. The AI still needs some work

I have signed a player to a 3 year contract and ended up trading him away in less than 24 game hours after the ink dried... The trade as it turned out to be good for both my team and that of AI controlled team

The contract or the trade or both?

What was the players arb estimate?

sign and trade is a real part of pro sports and at times saves teams from getting minimal draft compensation for losing a good player. nothing wrong with the game featuring such moves.

AFAIK only the NBA has a formal S&T process. I can't think of a recent real life example in other north American sports. Can you?

The possibility of a quick trade is a major driver of no trade no movement clauses IMO

The trade.. why wouldn't they just let him walk? If they did want to keep him, why give him $7 mil and then give the other team $3 mil in the trade?

I'm not sure how I see that on a CPU owned team? (Arb est)

If I did sign someone and then decide to trade him (a really good player) I wouldn't get the two AA scrubs they got in return.

This is a team that just went to the World Series...

First time something this drastic has happened to me as far as storylines go.. I'm fine with it.. ramps up the difficulty.

Plus Miami has plenty of money and the SS they traded away was a popular player both locally and well known nationally.
