Owner Goals - weird goal

dhall2010 · 02-19-2016, 12:33 AM

Why would my owner want me to dump this guy? I don't care how distracting he is, he's the best offensive first baseman in the league.

Maybe he's sleeping with the owner's daughter?

You don't care how distracting he is but the owner does.

because the owner can do whatever he wants

My owner is insisting that I resign a guy who retired 2 seasons ago, and the best part is he sent me that goal two months after the guy retired and I still have to hear about it at every mid-season and year end review of my goals.

My owner says to dump salary.. but sign a SP to an extension and he wants $23 million per season.

Oh those quacky owners!

Sometimes you have to tell the owner no.

In this case I'd comply, having a clubhouse cancer affects everyone's performance. It's possible you can stick a replacement level player in his spot and end up doing better as a team because he's currently bringing everyone else down.

It's your game, play it your way. However, this is what I would do about that...

Use commissioner mode to un-retire the player and sign him to a contract at minimum salary. Make sure he is on the major-league roster at the end of the season, and the goal should be met. Then you can retire him again.

Oh i know, I just think it's funny to see my owner cry about a now 44 year old relief pitcher who pitched a total of 17 games for me and now he wants him back for some reason.
