So we will have to offer fallback for a type A player at 2 years @ 16 million? Will we have to sign him at 2 years @ 16 million? Either way this really hurts the value of the older players. Why take the risk on having to sign older players to 2 years?
Will Type B still be 1 year @ 8 million?
And for Mike to say it doesn't matter, he is wrong. Example:
I signed SP John Haller on a 1 year @ 16 million through Type A free agency last year. I was hoping he would have a great year and if my younger starters develop to offer Haller Type A or Type B. With a 2 @ 16 million dollar deal having to be offered and his age at 34, I don't see that happening. So, a quick rule change will interfere with my original plan.
Will budgets be tighting more next year? With the trade deadline looming, I would like to know before I added any salary.
