Payroll rising in March!

CharlesC · 02-08-2010, 08:55 PM

I have an unusual problem. I am in my 5th year of managing this team and suddenly have an odd situation. On March 8 my team payroll is $1m, and on March 9 it becomes $1.2m. My minor leaguers all have minor league contracts. On March 9, when I add up my team's salaries by hand, it still comes to $1m, exactly the same as the day before. But on my Front Office page, it suddenly says $1.2m. Can anyone tell me where the extra $200,000 is coming from and, more importantly, how to prevent this?

Thank you

A screenshot would help, but look at your salary report page to get a breakdown of each player's salary to help try and figure it out.

Are you sure none of your minor league players have a MLB contract? It's not unheard of. Did spring training just start? March 9 must be close.

Check to see if any transactions were made that day (or maybe the day before). That might clue us in to what's causing it.

Players from your 40-man roster were promoted to your active roster at the start of Spring Training. They won't be given major league contracts until Opening Day if you don't demote them, but until then they will count against your payroll as though they do until they are demoted.

Thank you! Odd how I never noticed that before...
