Once you’ve finished making your first round of offers to

players (you can make offers to as many players as you wish

so long as you don’t go over-budget), press the A button and

select End Round. The Signed Free Agents screen will appear

telling you who’s signed where. If you got the guy(s) you

wanted, great! If not, it may be time for Plan B. Follow the

same procedure as above to make offers to other free agents.

The free agency period lasts for five rounds. If at any point

you’d like the CPU to step in and finish things out for you,

press START.

4) The Franchise Manager Screen – The CPU will set

lineups and pitching rotations for you, but if you’d like to modify

them, do so by selecting Manager. Selecting General Manager

will allow you to re-tool your roster with some last-minute trades,

view your budget expenditures, check out the remaining free

agents, view news from around the Bigs and get reports from

your staff. You can also attempt to re-sign some of the players

on your roster for next year and beyond (so that they don’t slip

away via free agency). Note that the player will play at his

current salary for the upcoming season, then see his new salary

take effect in the subsequent season.
