If no one claims they player they are removed from your 40 man roster and you can assign them to the minors. Quote:
Or your internet browser. The game manual is also a good reference I googled this in about a second https://manuals.ootpdevelopments.com...e_option_years Quote:

- If no one selects him then he "cleared" waivers and can be assigned to any team in your minor league system and is removed from the 40 man roster. Of note, if he has already earned enough service time he will be a Free Agent at the end of the season. You still pay 100% of his salary. - If no one selects him and he refuses a demotion to a minor league team then you either have to trade him or release him. If you trade then you get whatever you can and in theory you only pay him for the pro-rated portion of the salary through that part of the season. If you can't trade him and release him then you pay hi 100% of his salary and he is free to sign with any team at league minimum (the game doesn't always model this part correctly but essentially you get no salary relief). Now, if he has 3 years left at $15 million and you release him then you don't get hit for $45 million but you pay the full $15 million per year. It will show up in your finance screen as expenses.

Don't play a small market team your first time out. It is like playing on impossible difficulty in a normal video game.
OOTP plays completely different if you are say royals, marlins and rays versus large teams like Mets, Phillies, Nationals not to mention the juggernauts Cubs, Dodgers, Yankees and Red Sox. Small market teams its all about GM and finances. Baseball is at the back burner in the beginning. You also need to know about rule 5 draft, draft, international free agents, intentional amateurs, waivers, waiver claims, trading, options, arbitration and all of this behind the scenes baseball gm stuff. You will spend more time in you minor leagues than you do on your pro team. Because small markets need to be about the youth and have constant roster turnover. You might only have 1-2 players that make it 7+ years on your team. Every one else needs to be shipped out. Doesn't matter if they are an all star or fan favorite you won't have the budget to keep them. And you have to maximize the return when you trade them. Needless to say it is extremely challenging. But the normal teams don't play that way. It is a completely different experience. I would recommend grabbing a big size team, stay away from the juggernauts, learn the game a couple seasons then maybe go back to your favorite small market team. It's just not easy to do when starting out. I mean even if you know what you are doing a small market team is in constant rebuilding and it might take an experienced player 5-10 years to go deep playoffs. |
