I re-started a Tigers GM run yesterday and found that in this case, no team is interested in Schoop anymore, even at 50% retained salary. I was running with a 52/28/15/5 setup, which has me wondering if it is making a difference.
Likely some of the changes from the version from the previous game I was referencing have made a difference in how AI GMs are viewing Schoop.
futuremarlins, glad you got something out of the brain dump.
