Here's the same financial report in 1917, five "years" later (open the zip file). Budgets have all moved up from the $98,788 that I set them to in 1912. Some teams are projecting losses, some are not (these projections are not reliable this time of year anyway).

The situation appears to be normal now (well, maybe not - not one team is over budget now). Even the teams projecting shortages on the financial report have money available for free agents and extensions (such as the BoSox - see below).

Sure, I'm going to have to keep an eye on things; maybe I bumped budgets too high in 1912. Maybe I'll have to tweak things again.

At least now I know I can get out of the situation that I posted about in the beginning of this thread in support of OP.

Now, if someone would comment: Am I right about budgets? Are they constructed from a hopefully healthy financials.txt file and drift upward with the coefficients over time? Would Gambo's file (with historical salaries and reasonable cash maximums) have created adequate budgets if it were used in the first place?
