If it happened to 4 other GMs then we have a bug or glitch that we can say to OOTP Marcus or whoever and say "hey this problem happened to 5 GMs this season. There is an obvious bug please fix it." When just one guy says "this happened to me" no one really cares. Folks just think the guy either is lying or simply wasn't paying close enough attention. David, my comment was directed at the 12 GMs who voted "no." I figured there would be more than one person who voted that something should be done to help me out of a situation I didn't create. It's fine. Obviously nothing is going to be done to help me get this resolved so I just have to deal with it. I hope you can understand that we can be sympathetic to your situation, do not think you are lying, and can still have concerns about what this precedent could mean to the league. It sucks dude. I would be livid if I were in your situation. I hope you can take it as an additional challenge though. Not too sound braggy but I tell you it was pretty satisfying to me to win championships with the Padres and all of the challenges that owner and market present. I hope you stick around, overcome this obstacle and get to the top of the mountain. We do sympathize. We just have to think about what is best for the whole league, not a single team. For what it's worth (shrug)

For what it's worth (shrug) Thanks Ron/Rob. It's just I worked my butt off to get this team competitive and now in my 4th season I have them there but due to a glitch/bug/bad luck/curse of the goat I may not remain competitive for long. One big injury and am I done because I have no ability to make waiver claims or sign replacements via free agency. Any injuries and I am screwed...BOOM...there goes all the work I have done this season. To make it worse, with $24 million negative I will likely have no chance to sign free agents or re-sign the guys I like who have performed well this season. So I will likely lose my good guys. I will be right back to where I was my first season in the PBL where I had only enough to sign bottom feeder free agents and lost 100 games. IDK...thanks for your opinion and your words of wisdom but it sucks. This isn't my owner cutting my budget or whatever. This is a glitch that happened a month into the season out of nowhere, a $24 million bug. I can deal with the craziness of the owner or whatever or if I made bad trades that got me into this mess but this is not my fault and I am forced to deal with it.
Anyway, I'm done bitching and moaning about it. It is what it is. Nothing can be done to help resolve it.

Aren't you only projected to have your budget drop by $2 million? That's negligible.

What is the glitch? Tried reading through, but I didn't have time to read everything.
