Minor suggestion - 10/5 players

stevece80 · 05-23-2011, 01:00 PM

Is there a way to disable this? In baseball, sure, players will use their 10/5 status as leverage, but they don't automatically nix the idea of any trade just because they're 10/5 eligible. It's to the point where I won't even keep most players past their 9th season because I'm going to take a huge hit if I can't get anything for them (and I don't have the money to re-sign the player).

I mean, I'm in 2015 and haven't gotten an increase in payroll (from $60 million) in 12 seasons from the owner, but that's another story altogether, so I need roster flexibility, and 10/5 completely destroys that.

I agree. I've had this issue as well. I understand if a guy doesn't want to get shipped to a bad team, but to veto all trades no matter what is a bit much. I have yet to be able to trade a 10/5 player.
