Why does the owner reduce my budget so much when I have a lot of leftover money? If I have a $29 million surplus, I totally understand reducing it to a $10 million surplus, but reducing it to where I don't have enough to sign any free agents seems to go to far. At least leave me $5 million or so in case a great international free agent becomes available during the season.
I was in a position where I had a bunch of extra players, so I combined a bunch in a couple trades to get good players and had the former teams retain their salaries. That seemed like the smart thing to do, I wish I wasn't punished for it.
