Signing an Injured Player out 9 Months to 1 Year Deal
I am playing a standard MLB save and I noticed that Trevor Rosenthal was signed by the Cubs to a one year deal for $2,800,000. What would be the reason for this as he won't be eligible to play in 2018 as he is out for 9 months. Not saying this is an issue, just curious if I missed the reasoning for it.
Sorry if this was asked and addressed already. Thanks. |

Does the deal include an option on it? In real life teams will often sign long term injured free agents to 1 year deals + team option to see how the player recovers.

I’ve noticed that same thing in two separate saves. It was challenge mode so I was unable to stop it. I agree it makes no sense. It was also Trevor Rosenthal.
There was no team option on these deals that I saw.

Twins just signed Michael Pineda to a two year deal even though he won't throw a pitchc this season. I would imagine the team option is likely.

No, that I would expect and thought about myself. There is a bonus for 60 innings pitched though... Guess they felt pretty safe there.

I had the same exact thing happen. No option - not like Pineda deal. Probably a bug.

Three times. 3/3.
Here's one I just ran a minute ago: Ten games into the season I see this:

Seems like a small bug. Hey, they paid 2.8 million just to have first rights at negotiating an extension!

A month into my current game and Rosenthal is still unsigned but being pursued by a number of teams- I noticed on his contract screen in my game that he is shown as being arbitration eligible (the screenshot posted here says otherwise though so I'm not sure)- I wonder if that is playing a role in the team's thinking where, if he really is arb eligible it's somewhat like the deal with option scenarios discussed earlier.

I don't think he will be arb eligible if signed as a free agent like this. Note on the contract page it says signed through 2018 (free agent) as opposed to (arb).
I'm not positive though.
