My owner gave me a surprise bump in money

Personal Message from Owner David Glass: Financial Update

Patrick,

As we get closer to the start of the season, I have reviewed the team's financial state as of this moment. After seeing how the off-season has gone, I have decided to raise your team's budget from $108,000,000 to $120,000,000.

You may review all your financials on your front office page.

Good Luck!
David Glass

I don't recall ever getting a bump at the beginning of a season before. I took over the Royals at the end of the 2019 season where they fired the GM and I spent the off season retooling the roster because you start with almost no talent and no money.

I added 13 players through Free Agency and Trades and lost 20 players. According to the Offseason Summary page I gained 6.9 WAR.

My owner did that for me once......after all of the good free agents were already signed. Did me no good.

Yes it was the first day of the preseason and everyone worth signing is gone and since I don't expect to compete for a playoff spot it is all going to player development.
