MLB teams not signing IFA's

Kemosabe · 06-17-2021, 01:38 AM

I'm in year three of a sim where the *** frequently lands all the top IFA's over all MLB ballclubs. Usually for far less than their asking price as if no MLB club bothered to offer at all. In certain instances it looks like some MLB clubs have a $0 IFA budget.

I've never encountered this issue before. I use 100% scouting & no international signing cap. International complexes are not full & most MLB teams have plenty of cap space.

Anybody have any thoughts on what has happened or ways to fix this issue?

Cheers!

There are several instances of MLB teams throwing $7-8mil at 2* scrubs as the IFA period winds down now. wth?

Just circling back here. Has this happened to anyone else?

Getting pretty frustrated with 22. First the quick callups, weird IFA activity, and superstar waiver wire pickups.

Thanks again.

We haven't had any other reports of this that I've seen, so it's possible there's something specific to the setup of this league creating some weirdness. We'd really need to check out your league files to take a look at what might be going on.

If you can either upload them per the instructions in my signature or just upload to Dropbox/Google Drive and post a link, that would be a big help. Thanks!
