2) 60 day rule: I really don't like the idea of someone signing a FA and then shipping them off. It seems like it would yield shady dealings. The exception to that is that if a FA is signed during the season, I could see wanting to be able to move them at the deadline. As for extensions, if you're team isn't interested in keeping the player, I don't want your team to artificially increase the player's value when you have no intention of keeping the player. I'd rather them hit the FA market.
The issue I have with a statement like this is the following?I resigned Tyler O?Neill, Jordan Hicks, Colin Moran and Willy Adames when it financially made sense for me to do so. I extended them because I want all 4 of them to be part of my roster going forward. However, within the next 2 weeks, O?Neill, Hicks and Moran got hurt, Robert, Trout and Arroyo got hurt and Luis Urias potentially lost his starting spot. None of those things are within my control, but now I?m left without enough starting OF or MI and no ability to deal players that I?ve resigned to team friendly deals. So while I didn?t end up stuck for long, I could have ended up stuck for 30 or more days with no flexibility simply because I resigned players when it was financially best to do that and I don?t think that makes sense
