I'm a bit lost on how to satisfy this. I've gotten it 2 years in a row with no option to re-roll the goal with the owner and the completist in me really wants to achieve it but the first time it appeared, I did the find a player from the surrounding area thing and signed a backup catcher.

The backup catcher was on the roster the whole year, did average-y and the goal turned green the whole year basically. But when it came time to review, even though it was green, the owner said "player x wasn't exactly who I was looking for" etc....and the goal reared its head again next offseason.

I figured maybe they had to be a more impactful local player? Though the goal just says hometown player, not how effective they need to be, etc. I acquired a good reliever from the local area who again, turned the goal green, made the All-Star team, etc.

End of year review, same response, green all year but the goal comes back again. Wtf is the owner looking for? A superstar? Someone that needs to be on a long term deal so that they don't become a FA at year end?

I'm totally lost with how to get this goal achieved since there is really no caviat in the requirement other than they need to be able to be in the search results for a hometown player, it seems. That turns the goal green but never goes away unfortunately.
