alternatively, same work as now -> eliminate the september 1st update that makes no sense for an opening day roster and move that action to the end of season. all other things remain same in product cycle. include the extra roster template for next year's release. whether more popular or not, it makes more sense, lol. e.g. it was once popular to believe the world was flat and to say otherwise meant a violent end for that person, lol..

i think if people tried it, they'd like it. you get to have FA instant gratification without playing an entire season. i always hate my local teams' moves. not because of who they don't get, but how they waste their money on pipedreams. who wants to move to detroit? lol, i understand that is a reality.
Yeah, I’m certainly not suggesting a one or the other scenario. Just as an added option.
Whether it was Eric Hosmer last year, Ian Desmond the year before.. I can’t be alone in wanting to get rid of those new contracts ASAP!

Really though, I think especially with this offseason having such good free agents, it would be awesome to be able to start from the beginning of the offseason. (Not that I love the result of the 2018 postseason, but it’s something I have to live with )
