QUESTION REGARDING THIS TRADE, WILL I HAVE TIME TO OFFER ORTIZ A CONTRACT? IF I CANT OFFER HIM A CONTRACT THAN I CANNOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS TRADE.

 

[HeboAlan]

Agreed, Chris do u want me to look at offering ortiz a contract I can look into what he wants and see if u want me to offer him that

 

[Konel07]

Sure lmk

 

[HeboAlan]

He wants a 4 year deal at 2.4 mil per season. Let me know what you would like for me to offer him and I can see if he accepts

spread out like
1.650
2.15
2.65
3.15 mil vesting option

 

[Konel07]

Offer him a one year deal for 1.5 and a team option for 2.5 so 2 years total.

 

[HeboAlan]

He said that was a fair offer and said give him a couple days do discuss it with his family so I would guess he would sign it but who knows I submitted it

 

[Konel07]

Good to go

I would just hold on the trade until next sim to make sure Ortiz signs and does not decline to become a FA.. Just to cover both teams involved.
