Tough situation

[tcsox11]

I play as the red sox in my chise and i follow pretty much every transaction. I had placed Bailey on waivers to remove off 40 man so i could add Bogaerts. However with 1 day left for teams to claim him Philly claims. No matter what i try to do to prevent he always gets claimed. Is there a workaroud or a way to retrieve him after? Its not most important though since he is out for season in real life and questionable to be with sox nexf year. Thanks

If you have a save previous..(I'm guessing you do since you say no matter what)....
Did you try lowering his attributes until he goes unclaimed and then putting them back when he's down?
Worth a shot.

Yes i tried that. I lowered him to a 5 overall lol but they still kept claiming him. Thanks anyway

Manually injure him and put him on the 60 day DL?

[tcsox11]

Cant since hes already been placed on waivers.

Do you play with 30 team or force trades on?

[tcsox11]

Unfortunately no i dont for this franchise

But, isn't this part of the appeal of playing Franchise mode? You have to battle X other teams for free agents or make a trade to one up one of the other contenders. Sometimes you just lose out on a guy, just like in real life.
I'm not one to tell a guy how to run his 'chise. I just think that's not being true to what this feature was designed to give us.
My two cents.
