LF Brian Ward 58/85 (Age 19) - $Draft Day
$1.4 Million

I like Ward's potential and switch hitting ability.

I am going to say this should be undone.

For a few reasons.

1) Matty vetoed my deal with ATL where its a salary dump, and this clearly is.
2) This is a terrible deal for Baltimore.
3) No trade mods approved this.

Anyways I am going to post this and see what the other mods think, I already know that one of them I discussed this with agreed that it should be vetoed because of number 3.

Um, yeah, I definitely would have vetoed this had I the time before the sim. Bad deal, makes no sense, plus PR never even accepted!

I know Sean was rushed into doing the sim, so totally understandable - I just think this should be put back up for vote and the players returned. Since neither team is contending, it shouldn't constitute a re-sim either.

ditto

This being undone because of a different veto is a complete joke. No, George is not a total salary dump. Overpaid, sure, but he did have a nice HR/9, BB/9, K/9, and OBA in COL. Outside if COL those numbers should only get better. Plus if Baltimore makes some nice moves in the off-season, he'll have George in '26 that could have him in contention.
