Contract Extensions?
-
Has anyone been offered a contract extension before free agency?
Also, has anyone been traded without asking for one?
I've never once been offered an extension. It's always 700k for the first 3 years, arbitration for the next 3 years and then free agency. This has been a very common thing for many years now to lock up a player through their arbitration years into free agency. Seems like a missed opportunity.
Likewise, I've never been traded in my walk year by a bunk team like the White Sox. They would never let you go to FA IRL.

Was traded once in my first year but this was years ago in a previous game. I didn’t ask. I wish your agent checked more often and gave you options in where you get traded to.
