Disliked??

If I traded for him, would it lower fan support??

Probably would increase fan support if you traded him.

Just got it again...how strange that they were busted for drug use in the 1959 off season...LOL

I've seen this a few times. In my league they've always come after drug suspensions, never seen it for any other reason.

I wish Disliked players triggered some Storylines -- bad press, arguing with reporters, friction in the clubhouse, etc. If so, he could possibly become toxic to both Fan Interest and Moral for the rest of the team, thus forcing me into a lopsided trade (favoring the AI for a change).

As it is, I have a Disliked player on my team, but he's an All-Star caliber player and my Fan Interest is already through the roof. I have no real motivation to trade him.

First player I thought of upon seeing the topic title was Josh Beckett

That type of stuff is not realistic at all though...it would sound too much like a soap opera and not real baseball,,,,signed The Boston Red Sox of 2011 and 2012 :-)

So would Barry Bonds' bio at the end of his career say he was disliked nationally but extremely popular locally?

I saw this with Milton Bradley before he was cut from the Mariners.
