I’ve never seen a player in NSBL get a full 7-year deal without having really played in the Majors.
I’m pretty mad at myself for not drafting him last summer. How he didn’t show up on my Grindr Radar is beyond me. I also sent 2 straight bids on him that both got topped by crazy bids. I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
If he maintains a +10 defensive rating and 100-ish OPS+, that will be a fine deal. But if he gets exposed as a AAAA player in real life this year, whoo boy. That’s a matzah ball hanging with you until 2029.

There is definitely bust potential, but it doesn't take a ton to live up to that contract, either by mashing lefties or continuing to be a strong defender. If he does both the contract is quite valuable (thus the +$50 MM in surplus)

I stayed away from re-upping on Enright because he’s getting treated for Hodgkins Lymphoma, and the Marlins aren’t sure when he’s going to be able to pitch again. Athletes can recover from that (Mario Lemieux), but you just never know how each person will react to cancer.
I was cool taking a 2-year gamble, but once I saw that 5-year deal,I knew it was too long for me. (And that’s not the first time I said a dude was too long for me on an internet message board, I assure you.)

I can’t even get Nick Freakin’ Sandlin and his 101 ERA+ project through on a Day 1 high bid?
I AM GOING TO BURN THIS LEAGUE TO THE GROUND. 🔥

Sorry I needed to upgrade my bullpen and I am trying to get what I can. I have had him on my list and could only bid on 3 a day. Figured he would be safe since no one bid on him the first 2 days.

Have we changed the free agent bidding form in the last few years?

I just want to say good job everyone for getting these bidding wars done quickly. I don't think a single one has gone into the next day, and other than Dave taking two of my dudes, I've had good, quick experiences in them. Good job everyone, making that a non-issue.

I really appreciate this also. It's made getting rosters updated while FA is in-progress really smooth. Also, shout out to Connor for assisting on the roster updates and handling the bulk of unowned teams this offseason. It's been great. I'll happily run FA every year if it's this smooth.

Is there a list of available free agents. There is an incomplete list. On the Rosters GSheet, go to the Player Info tab. Anyone listed there as FA under team is a free agent. This list gets updated as we go thru free agency, but sometimes not until the following morning. Players signed tonight will be added to their teams before Noon EST. NSBL uses the rule that all players are born on 1/1. Our free agent eligibility age is 26 years old. For this season, that means any born in 1997 or later. If there is a player not on our rosters who meets the age requirements, you can sign them. IE Brett Sullivan, C, Padres is 29 years old and never been on an NSBL roster. He is not listed on the Player Info tab, but can still be offered a contract. If you need a place to dig for names, I reccomend the ZiPS posted on FanGraphs.

Ooh. I like GuardianGM already. JIm It's never gona happen unless you volunteer to do it. I could make us a list of potential free agents but there is so much fluff to filter through that it would be less helpful than our current partial list where most of the free agents are at least relevant. I'm not sure if filtering through dozens of Danny Edgeworth's is something you really wanted to do in the "list of available free agents"

Was there an introduction of the new owner that I missed? If so, welcome aboard Mr. Cleveland.
