Have you ever thought your team’s GM made a stupid trade? Paid too much for a free agent? Wish you had the opportunity to run the team more effectively? I gave the opportunity to 30 fans to run their team how they saw fit in an Offseason Simulation, cramming an entire winter of transactions into four days. I gave each team a recommended budget and asked them to negotiate with each other on trades, and with me on free agents.
The following is a summary of what transpired over one week. You can see complete rules and timeline here.Here is a spreadsheet listing every team's payroll situation and where each free agent signed.
