Buyout question
If I am trying to buy someone out that has a player option after team option, is there any reason the player option would be included in Buyout? The price it is telling me doesn't make sense otherwise (it is Arthur Norris for 44m), but that doesn't seem right.

Re: Buyout question
I'm not 100% sure, but if it does, kudos on OOTP. If that happens, then I'm a lot less bothered by PO after TO.

Re: Buyout question
If you want to release him now, it's should be the rest of 2038 and 2039 salaries, 2040 buyout, and 2041 salary. What is the 2040 buyout for? 2039 plus 2041 puts it at $34.5M.usnspecialist wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 10:47 pmIf I am trying to buy someone out that has a player option after team option, is there any reason the player option would be included in Buyout?

EDIT: that would make sense given that I probably owe him about 7 for the rest of this year.

Re: Buyout question
Yeah, so it looks like you do pay that out. Which makes sense since you aren't giving the player his option anymore.

Re: Buyout question
No, that doesnt make sense. If you buy out the Team Option in 2040, there is no Player Option in 2041.

Re: Buyout question
It does make sense. It's called a player option. By buying out the team option before the player option year, you are not giving the player is own option. So you have to pay him out. The team option pays the buyout and the player option pays the salary the player could of opted into.

Re: Buyout question
There's logic either way, but it's certainly proper if your'e buying out the contract you're buying out the player option. It insures against bad faith offers.
Very happy to hear this.

Re: Buyout question
There should never be a team option 1 year followed by a player option...the league allows that? C'mon...
Honestly, offering a contract with a team option followed by a player option is a bad faith offer from the beginning. It's an offer that appears to add value for the fake player, but is really a game played against the programming rather a baseball management decision.

Re: Buyout question
Yeah I get your point but I think it used to be an issue in OOTP that isn't now. That is a toggle in S+ on the illegal contract checklist. I still think we need a mandatory minimum on team options. That doesn't have anything to do with this. Just contract talk. But S+ has made tracking contracts WAY easier.Bumstead wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 11:18 amThere should never be a team option 1 year followed by a player option...the league allows that? C'mon...

Re: Buyout question
He's also asking because he traded for him. He didn't sign the player originally. I don't think Randy generally gives any sort of player options or opt-outs.

Re: Buyout question
Yes, if a team has to pay the full player option to cut him, then the Player Option is a good faith offer. Also, yes, this isn't how the game used to work. At one point I would certainly have been good with putting a rule in to administer player options after team options. But if a team has to pay for both those options, then the administrative overhead isn't worth it. IMHO, anyway.
We do have a mandatory minimum on buy-outs of 20%. So I think this is pretty solid overall. Much, much better than it once was.

Re: Buyout question
When was that implemented? I didn't know we had one. I feel like we didn't at one point so I must of missed it. I usually do 25%. 20% works for sure though.

Re: Buyout question
I know it's been awhile. If you offer a Team Option too low, it requires it. Here's the image of our game settings Matt's posted:download/file.php?id=870&mode=view

To the point of this conversation, I'm glad OOTP has fixed it for buyouts, but you can still not execute the team option and get off scot free from the PO commitment. That's still a bad faith offer and shouldn't be allowed. OOTP doesn't seem to have the analysis capacity to know that the PO is basically not money they will get.
Sorry Recte. Not trying to rake muck. This isn't critical.

Even if you are just declining a TO and paying the TO buyout?

Re: Buyout question
What Randy is saying is different what Ted is saying. Ted is saying if he gets to the TO option and declines it, the PO is voided. Which is bad too. Randy just wants to cut bait now.
