Dealing with Stanton's contract - Miami Marlins Franchise

[TattooedEvil]

With my PS4 taking an absolute dump on me, I was given the chance to start a new dynasty and start one with real intrigue and a HUGE challenge. The challenge of dealing with the horrible Miami fan base and dealing with Giancarlo's mega deal with the low budget of the Marlins.

-----------------------------------------

House Rules

- Trades must be within reason since trade logic isn't completely there.

------------------------

- If real life team signs player to a new contract (i.e. Giancarlo Stanton) I must give him that contract. If I cannot afford the contract I must make the necessary moves to accomodate. This will force me to not low ball players in my own free agency.

-----------------------------

Copy MLB team example: Stanton signed his 13 year, $325M deal so I signed him to that also.

--------------------------

Sign my own example: I signed Yelich to a 8 year $56M deal. This is to protect me from the real Marlins giving him maybe a 6 year $80M deal and me being really screwed. (If a deal I give a player is way outta the ballpark then I must match. But a $5M difference will not force me to do so.)

--------------------------------

- If the (real life) Miami Marlins trade a player that I have on my roster I must trade that player for the newly acquired player. If the trade on MLBTS is not accepted, I must do w/e possible to make it work. The only way a trade may not have to go thru is if it puts me over the budget. I may, however trade for my previous player at a later date tho.

---------------------

- Will play 1 home stand and 1 road trip per month.

Marlins make history

After the Miami Marlins finished 77-85 and watched the SF Giants beat the KC Royals in the 2014 World Series they decided to make the offseason their own showcase. The Marlins locked up Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich to long term deals.

-------------------

Christian Yelich received a 8 year $56 Million deal while Giancarlo Stanton received the record breaking deal of 13 years $325 Million. The two will now have the corners of the massive outfield locked down for a long time to come.

-------------------

The Marlins also made Jordan Thomas the Special Assistant to the President of Baseball Operations

-------------------

*Note: U can only do a 10 year contract on The Show so I made the deal match up for that time. Once the 10 years is up I will add on the 3 years and the 4th being a club option

Definitely following this, looks like a great idea man

Appreciate it! Pretty excited about this since its a whole different kind of challenge. I love low budget teams, but have never had to worry about this kind of wrinkle so once my PS4 crashed my decision was made up. And absolutely wanted to lock down Yelich as I am a big fan of both studs.

Following, always had a soft spot for the Marlins, and I love Giancarlo
