What does the ! mean?

Although I've been playing OOTP for about 5 years, I've never figured out what the exclamation mark on the MLB tab (see below) signifies. Sometimes it is there and sometimes not. What does it mean?

Thanks.

The game is telling you that there is something that may need your attention before you click 'Finish Today', such as negotiating with those selected on amateur draft day.

Some are less mandatory then others, such as out of town games may not have been completed after you click 'play today's game' as opposed to having clicked 'finish today'.

Arbitration players .... Amateur draft are two others it notes at appropriate times.

that symbol is how i function, lol... it's like pavlov's dogs over here.

i'd probably miss int'l amatuer signing day every other year and forget to re-do my minors, since i use that "!" on july 1st as a reminder for that, too.
