It would be nice to be able to talk a player out of retiring.
Email from Player: "I've been thinking about retiring at the end of next year. What do you think?"
Response from GM: "Yes you should" - (in a case where the player isn't producing and has a huge contract that you want to get out of.) or
"No, this team needs you now." etc, etc.

that would be nice.
maybe the opportunity to offer the player a contract and the player decides at the end of the season (or whenever) if he'll sign or just opt for retirement.
in addition, i would love to be able to keep some guys as coaches.
I'm at the point where Mike Mussina is set to retire after my current season. I wish i could offer him a job as the pitching coach or a minors manager or something. Or if the positions are filled, the option to tell him that when the spot opens up we would love to have you here.
so when the pitching coach's contract is up, you'll get an email from Mussina, or whoever, sayin something like, "i noticed the position you offered me a while ago is now open. I'd be interested in filling it...what you think?"
