When the time comes for owners to negotiate with players they wish to re-sign, 3 negotiations are allowed.
Generally, the first offer you submit forces the player to lower his demands, sometimes by a lot. After that, he still might lower them, but not as much. But there are some exceptions. By the third offer you submit the player, he has to either accept your offer or you accept HIS demands.
Example #1:
Expos IF Gary Sutherland wants 5.65M for 3 years.
My offer #1: 4M x 7 years; he lowers his demands to 4.05M x 7 years.
My offer #2: 3.7M x 7 years; his demands stays the same, but he adds a 1 year player option.
My offer #3: 4.2M x 7 years; he accepts.
Example #2:
Expos P Woodie Fryman wants 5.65M for 3 years.
Offer #1: 3.6M x 3 years; he now wants 5.1M x 3 years.
Offer #2: 4.9M x 3 years; he lowers to 4.9M x 3 years with 3 years of player option.
Offer #3: 5.1M x 3 years; he accepts.
Every re-signature will need to be posted. You can choose to post your 3 offers or to just ask me to sign the player to a certain number of years. Either way, make it clear, especially if you intend to accept the player's demands after 3 negotiations.
Reminder: In many cases, there will be a slight difference between the figures you got and the ones I signed the player to. It generally varies between 50k and 200k (more or less). Sometimes, you get the player a little cheaper than you expected, while some other times he signs for a little more. In the end, it evens out.
IMPORTANT:
When you’re negotiating with your players, you cannot take into consideration his final counter-offer if it includes either team or player options. After your third offer, you need to:
1) have the player accept that 3rd offer you made
OR
2) have him counter an offer that does not include player or team options.
If the player requires to have a non-trading clause, just leave it there and I’ll get rid of it. The only thing you need to make sure is that there are no options included in the player’s counter offer if you wish to accept it.
Why don’t we accept the player’s counter if it includes options? Because the player accepts less money that way. Since we don’t allow ourselves to use the options, there is no point allowing the player to do so.
