Question on Resigning a Star

bozanic · 04-30-2002, 05:16 PM

I'm in a league where we are entering our 2nd season and my star 25 year old pitcher who is about to become a stud has told me he doesn't like my organization and won't resign (his loyalty is minimal and he doesn't need to play for a winner). What should I do?

-Ride it out and hope changes his mind.
-Deal him now.
-Deal him to the highest bidder down the stretch

If he doesn't change his mind by the end of July(not likely) then I would deal him right at the trading deadline .

You could, accidently, delete him

BTW,
This happened after the league converted the file from OOTP3 to OOTP4

Deal him at the end of July.

If you feel the computer unfairly assigned poor loyalty/NfW/Clutch/Leadership values, you could edit those if you could escape the guilt.

Or you could really feel guilty and just edit his contract.

I guess it would depend how you look in the playoff hunt. I would put him on the block and look at the offers I got for him and deal him if you could get another starter out of it. If not, you can keep him granted you're in the race and let him become a FA.

I had the same thing happen to me where my star picture said he didn't like the organization and wouldn't resign, but after about 2 months he changed is mind and signed. My record was about .500 and he didn't care who he played for.
