Owner is kind of a d%#&

[jofos]

So I take the GM job with the diamondbacks. Everything is going ok realistic goals and such then two weeks into the season then owner dies and Jr. gets the job. Well the D-backs have some horrible contracts and players that need some work and not much of a budget. Get to mid season goals look good but money isn't good and I need to upgrade LF. Well LF isn't my worse position but I would love to upgrade. Well season ends and 2 mil gets cut from the budget LF is developing. I've cut payroll but brought in some better players and fan interest improves, season ticket sales improve by 40 %. Things are good.
Get to mid season of season 2: We have a winning record and are still somewhat in the hunt and I recently traded for Avisail Garcia, the trade saved 1.6 mil and Garcia is playing well. I get the message "I know you brought in Avisail Garcia to improve our Left Field, but I told you to find an upgrade over who we had before, I'll check in again at the end of the season, but I don't like what I'm seeing at the moment." lol maybe I should select can't be fired.

Geez, with an owner like that I'd EMBRACE getting fired! I'm sure you'd catch on with a better team! Enjoy the game!

You'll probably be ok, but get that resume ready because this guy sounds like a pain to work for.

My owner wants me to sign a player to a contract extension that just retired.
