Acquire a Power Hitter: No Progress

Nupta · 12-22-2025, 04:00 AM

The year is 2043 and Mark Attanasio has passed away. His son, Matt, not a real person, now owns the Brewers.

This dip****. I have the #1 offense in baseball. Not juat #1 overall, we are #1 in everything. In runs scored, in AVG, in OPS, in stolen bases. But, if we have a weakness, it's that we are 8th in home runs.

I decided to ignore his goal once. My offense is fine, it's our pitching staff cannot stop walking guys and blowing leads. Anyway, he was not happy and I might get fired if I ignore the goal again.

So in the off-season, I trade for a power hitting catcher. No progress. I promote a top 1st base prospect. No progress. I sign a 26 year old Japanese defensive marvel of a center fielder free agent with 70 power rating to a $350 million deal (this is a fictional universe) and...no progress.

What does this man child want from me?

He wants you to turn off owner goals.

Edit his birth year so he's like 100 and that problem will solve itself.

You could also turn on commish mode, extend your entire roster with monster contracts, and then quit. That should cripple the entire organization for the next decade or so.

He is not looking at ratings; he wants one of the top home run hitters in the last year or two.

Yeah, he's not talking about performance. He wants HR's for marketing.
