And it not just for the A's but for all the teams basically. Brewers owner kept 100 million!!!!

Well, this
is a "simulator" isn't it? Sure sounds like real life to me.
Seriously, I agree, that's pretty lame. Starting as the 1981 Yankees, I was shocked to learn my team owner is a bit stingy too. I mean, for the market size, fan loyalty, and a losing World Series trip in 1982 I expected a bigger budget. Right now, I'm sitting on the 7th highest Budget. I don't know what the heck I would do with a team and the 25th highest payroll. I'll find out when I get bored of this Saved Game as I plan to start again in the same general era with a small market team. Almost every contract I agree to now has a Team Option to protect the team.
