FREE AGENTS DIALOG
The Free
Agents Dialog lets you view and sign any available free agent. All
players are sorted by the salary they are seeking (in descending
order).
To see a Scouting
Report for any free agent,
either hit the Scouting Button, or double-click on the player's name.
To sign a free agent, hit the Sign Button. This brings up the Contract Offer dialog. If
you agree to the terms set forth by the player (and his agent),
you can sign the player. He will be added to your group of AAA players.
Use the Lineup
Dialog, Defense
Dialog or Pitching
Dialog to move this player
onto your active roster.
For information on changing the column
headings (and sorting players), read the help file for the Sortable Stats
Dialog.
As your players contracts expire, you can choose to accept their
offer to re-sign, or you can send them to the free agent pool. Often,
a player you release will be signed by another team before they
reach the free agent pool.
Rumor
Mill
Click on a player, and the Rumor
Mill will show how close that player is to signing a contract
with another team. Players that are close to signing a deal will
be gone within a day or two. On the flip side, players that aren't
in serious negotiations will usually spend some more time on free
agent list -- with their asking price dropping as the days tick
by without a contract offer.
The Rumor Mill is most accurate on
the Fan (easiest) difficulty level and least accurate when playing
on Mogul level.
