To summarize: Is there a way to see what other teams are offering a FA?
Specifics: there's a FA reliever I have my eye on, he's only 24 and I think he'll develop into a very good pitcher once he hits his peak. He's asking for 1.24m for 1 year, but I offered 2m for 1 year (that's how good I think he'll be), just to "try him out" in AAA ball and see how he progresses before I offer him a longer-term contact.
A few sim-days later, I received a message: he likes the offer, but another team has made a better offer, and he gave me the chance to match it.
For the life of me, I cannot even figure out where to find what the other team is offering! I've checked every single place I can think of, but no dice. I'm starting to suspect there isn't a way to determine that info, but I'd like it verified.
It's driving me up the wall, to say the least. How the heck can you bid for someone if you don't know the last asking price? It's not a silent auction, for pity's sake...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dislike groping around in the dark (as much fun as that can be sometimes
), and this aspect is irritating me to no end.
