From Mike on RP Edmund Goose, "KCR bids 7 years x 10mil = 70mil total"
then went back and edited to "Pending hoke still wanting him (I assume he would since he hasnt made any other bids recently) I would like to withdraw my bid. Forgot he was injured. So I plan to bowout on him."
Ohhh, that was the last straw for me. Mike just senselessly bid on a player, and didn't know he was hurt. That is the very definition of senselessly bidding. I don't care if you go 7 years, but damnit it better be a binding offer where it sticks!!! I have seen it in past years, so not trying to pick on just Mike, but that was the turning point to get action.
There should be a rule against stupid shit like this OR if you bid on a Type A and bow out, then you lose your 1st rounder, if it is a Type B and you bow out, then you lose your 2nd rounder. You do it with a Type C(that Goose is) then you lose your 3rd rounder, and if you do it more then you lose your 4th, 5th and 6th. There needs to be something done about this. I see myself bitching more lately than having fun. Some of the stuff is just dumb(like bowing out of a FA bid). DJ seems to see a need in doing what he wants to do with the suggestion he had last few days ago, but yet may not see an issue with this. If not, then go ahead and just have a replacement for me by 2024(getting way too busy later this month and beyond, and some contracts come off board after end of 2024, so don't want to have Braves be in financial hell because of me). This isn't a threat, but I'm just not having as much fun, especially if you guys just wanna keep FA like it is where any person can just bow out. Why not up everyone and go 10 years 50 million per year, then be like ahhh well nvm I am bowing out, oh well. Just so fucking stupid.
