actually, another owner said he offered the max w/ NTC and player option and was leading for a bit and lost him. so if you believe that, then no.

Well, the owner who did not offer the NTC won over 2 who did offer the NTC...

Maybe it's (improperly) coded so that the NTC is viewed as a negative?

I offered him all that could be offered, was #1 for one cycle and was "out bid"

Another possibility is that there is no hierarchy in the tiebreakers; coaches and ballpark are considered at the same time. Atlanta is more of a pitchers' park than Toronto and that might been considered more important than your (large) coaching advantage.

read further: "In cases where the offers are still tied and the coaching staff has been factored in ballpark is used to determine which franchise the player will sign with."

the ballpark is clearly supposed to be a second tiebreaker, and it still doesn't get past the offer without an NTC prevailing.

Any chance that contract would have put you over the cap if you include Hayes' salary?

I still haven't gotten a response on that one.

No, i had 5 X $6.7 on the table to some pitcher who had better offers as a placeholder for Hayes's contract to prevent a situation like that.
