After a few months of activity in the Armchair Fantasy league, I'm going to have to resign indefinitely from my post as Red Sox GM due to the amount of controversy created during my tenure. I feel the league can be taken a but too seriously. As I told Lando, I'm not trying for any sort of collusion in trades with the Dodgers, nor am I trying to wreck my team (or another team) every time I make a stupid trade.

Thanks to Lando and the rest of the league for a fun couple of months, the amateur draft was a real novelty, and thanks to all trade partners, valid, invalid, or cancelled just before posting. If I find a suitable replacement as GM of the Red Sox, I'll pass him along to you.

Cheers,
Nicholas

Red Sox would like to extend Jacoby Ellsbury for 4 years at 17,612,500 per year. (I know I let him walk via free agency earlier on the offseason, just a bluff at the expense of Scott Boras)

Any interest in providing draft pick compensation for losing valuable free agents, so we can more closely simulate the MLB CBA's qualifying offer" policy? Something like an extension value ranking above a certain percentile... (the team that loses the FA has to pay half of extension value for 1 year)
