Seattle resignings

[capnmariner]

I'm assuming I just have to negotiate with the computer, and then post the results? Let me know if that's not how it's done...

Joel Pineiro -- 5 years, 2.45M
Gil Meche -- 5 years, 2.15M
Jamie Moyer - 3 years, 2.45M, no trade clause

I'd like to use the 20% loyalty deal on all three, since they've been on the team for 3+ years.

[Commish/Rockies]

yah, just let us know how you got that, and please do the math on the loyalty as that kind of thing hurts my brain.

also i wouldnt do no trade clauses in the future as it kind of limits you

Including the loyalty discount, it would be:

Pineiro: 5 years, 1.96M
Meche: 5 years, 1.72M
Moyer: 3 years, 1.96M, no trade clause

As for how I got those prices, I don't remember the details, but what I usually do is offer maybe half of what the computer is asking, then increase the offer by 500k or so, and hopefully the agent decreases their offer as well. In the case of Pineiro, I think I talked them down from like 4M a year.

This kind of confuses me, since who knows whether or not the commish can replicate the same exact numbers, and I didn't see an explanation in the rules. I guess basically I'd like Pineiro and Meche for 5 years and Moyer for 3, at the cheapest rate you can come up with, even if it differs slightly from whatever the hell I did the other day.

And yeah, normally I wouldn't give out a no trade clause, but I have a soft spot for seeing Moyer retire in Seattle, and he's slightly cheaper that way.

FYI, if you go into the windows calculator, you can multiply the contract by .8 to figure out what it looks like with the 20% discount. No need to hurt brain. brain happy.

yah i already did those, did i not upload that file?

[capnmariner]

Yeah, I didn't notice that. Aight, cool cool. It's all good.

EVERYBODY JUST CALM DOWN
