Fully agree with what you have pointed out. I'm having my own challenges with the manager goals. Some of them, quite frankly, make no sense. I'll give an example.
I'm playing as the Pirates, it's 8/4/2020. I trade last year at the deadline for then 32yr old SP Andrew Cashner from the Padres (now 33, turning 34 in September). He was under contract for the current 2020 season at $10.8M and is a FA after. Both his national and local popularity are insignificant. Being I'm the Pirates, I am budget constrained and have several young players that a bigger priority would be extending them past their arbitration years. My owner has set a goal that I resign Cashner. And what does Cashner want - 5yrs, $105M. To me, this goal makes no sense. In a partial yr last year with me, Cashner went 9-3 with a 3.35ERA and a 1.7 war. Full season, 14-10 3.28 ERA, 144K's/60BB's, 3.3WAR. Why would a "penny-pincher" owner want me to sink $100+M into a 34yr old, recently acquired, above avg starter?
