I manually injured Danny Santana in an Indians franchise, giving him elbow surgery, and he retired. Losing Santana set my franchise back a few years because I was contending for the AL Central and now I had to replace Santana.

Why would you manually injure one of your top players?

So, if I am using the Yankees, and say, Tanaka injures his elbow again, and it is a season ending injury.....he would retire?

I know in the past you could just manually un-injure him before the off-season started and he shouldn't retire.

To mimic real life.

I am going into year 2016 in my franchise and I know once I transfer over my file over to MLB 15 and I haven't advanced through spring training I will be able to get the real 2015 schedule for the franchise.

Does that only apply if you are going into year 2015 in your Franchise? Or does that apply no matter what year you are going into?

I decided I wanted to have a Rangers-like season where I was really terrible so I could rebuild. They were already dead last. I figured (wrongly) that Santana would just come back next year and the guys I got in trades the previous year would help the Indians make the playoffs.

For the record, I'm in 2018 in my franchise now and my Indians team is pretty consistently in third place. I blame the Danny Santana injury.

Is this a possibility?
