Hey everybody
Playing in the 1st year of a fictional league and on the first day of free agency my all star 2b, whom i decided not to resign, signed a minor league deal with some team in the cuban league. I looked around and a few other players have done this as well. Is this normal? If so i dont like it any way to stop this? ty

There is an option somewhere in the game's setup to disallow players from signing with other leagues.

It seems a bit odd that they are taking minor league deals. How much money could they look to have made if they had stayed in your league?

Interesting- anyone else have experience with international leagues? I'm looking to add them to my online league. I would like our scrub free agents to be able to go play in Cuba, Japan, or Korea but not a major leaguer to go sign a free agent deal. I'd also like the stars to come here for more money. I though keeping the salries low would accomplish that but a little nervous if a player would jump and sign a minor league deal over even a minor league deal in the MLB club. Any thought?
