Challenge mode requests

1) Fix the injury algorithm. In challenge mode, I more than triple the Mets' 2018 total time of players on the DL which was the most in the ML last year. It doesn't matter who my trainer is or what players I have, they continually get ankle sprains that last 4-6 months. And it is always the good players. This was a problem in 19 as well.

2) Stop the Owner from asking me to get a cy young pitcher or upgrade a position when he knows I'm already 29 mil in the red. (Playing the Padres who are next to impossible since Machado and Hosmer take up more than 1/2 their budget.

3) Fix the trade algorithm. All I ever get offered are relievers. There is almost no way to get a star starting pitcher and the offers actually get worse when you add prospects to the deal.

Ok. rant over. Seriously, fix the injuries. You can't change them in challenge mode.

Turn off Owner Goals under Global Settings. I will lean your way on this one point and say it's a shame we can't send a tersely worded email to our imaginary owner telling him exactly where he can store his suggestions list.

That would at least get rid of some frustration.

Have you tried using the "team needs" to help with offers? That is how I got my 3B in my Marlins franchise. Also, keep an eye on players on trading block. That is how I find bargain pitchers that teams may be willing to eat salary on.
