Owner Goals are Dumb

Fronzizzle · 07-31-2015, 11:26 PM

I'm entering my 9th season, and it seems that the owner goals are getting worse and worse.

Two seasons ago, I made the World Series but lost; my budget increased to 210 million; two of my goals were to sign Justin Verlander to an extension (he wanted 35+ million per year) and to cut payroll from $140 million to $130 million.

I didn't sign Verlander, my payroll went up to about $160 and I won the World Series. We made $38 million dollars, and my new goals just came in: Sign Felix Hernandez to an extension (still has a year left on his deal, is 36 years old and wants a deal that pays $20 million per year), build a championship team...and cut payroll to $130 million. Sigh.

You know you can turn them off, right?

Hey he's the owner its his team, if he wants Felix Hernandez and 24 scrubs then by golly give it to him.

Keep winning and ignore him.

My owner wants me to sign Koji to an extension in 2017 even though he'll be 42 years old.

Sounds like the real MLB.

I can't be fired from my fictional league team, so I look on these goals with some amusement. I've actually been able to meet some, but if I don't, so what.
