Online League Arbitration Estimate Issue

lambersonjw · 07-14-2022, 08:39 PM

Playing in an online league in the year 2029 and the offseason just started. On the Front Office > Finances screen, my Arbitration Estimates is listed as $28,102,000. When I go to Front Office > Salaries screen, I can add up the 4 players I have that are Arbitration Eligible (A) and I get a total of $21,300,000. When I double check and go to MLB > Salary Arbitration, I have 5 players showing up that are eligible but the 5th player not listed on the Salaries page only has an estimate of 900K which doesn't bridge the almost 7,000,000 gap.

Any ideas as to why the numbers are off? Let me know if screenshots would help.

Yes, it would definitely be useful to see screenshots. Is the 5th player not on your roster? Maybe he's in the minors but somehow arbitration eligible?

See attached for screenshots and let me know if you need more. The 5th player is not on my 40 man roster and is currently in AAA, and looks to be a pending free agent on the "Salaries" page and doesn't say arbitration eligible. My bigger concern is not the 5th player, but why my Arbitration Estimate is still close to 7M off from what the 5 players I have are asking for. Maybe this will correct itself after Arbitration processes but would like to have that money available if possible.

If you add up the total of the four players with (A) next to their names it doesn't add up to $28,102,000

I can't see off-hand what might be the case in the mismatches. I haven't seen that before, it should pull the values from the same spots.

For a case like this, we'd probably need to see the league file (https://support.ootpdevelopments.com...p-developments) to see exactly what the game is seeing here.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for all your help so far. I have uploaded a copy of our league file to the FTP site and the filename is called "mlbushball.zip". Please let me know if you have any issues opening or need additional files. Thanks!
