Option year discussion (Read 1,515 times)

Think about it you can deal or steal for a star or trade for his rights. Otherwise RFA and max deals keep top guys out of most unless you anti up in some way. This is our chance to flirt a little with having star guys unmatched. It's worth a shot. I see no reason not to embrace it and see how it plays out over time.

Impact will be seen in next years' RFA, when up to 22 players will be optioned. Therefore the RFAs left will get higher bids as there will be fewer impact players. The goal was to curb or reduce huge bids, but I see the opposite happening from options.

[Yankees]

But again those options are eating up some of that extra cash. And yeah I said for one more year RFA will rule but the next off season could be fun.

Bob the 1-2 options, for playoff and non playoff were your ideas and voted on. We can have a vote pass something then say ahh never mind

Also some teams will choose to keep the RFA status rather than option a player and have them go to ufa, so there is some strategy to it as well

Here is my final word on this issue ... as I mentioned to someone else in the league, this change wouldn't be the end of the world or of the league ... In the end it is just something that spun rapidly out of control producing a solution in search of a problem instead of addressing any the so-called problems originally cited. That being said I will live with this change and move on ... fortunately the real games start soon and we will all be involved with that which we all joined this enjoyable league for!
