Can someone tell me where I can find what the tie-breakers are for the free agents that will get max contracts?  I know I've seen it before but can't find it now.  I think it includes coaching and ballpark factors.  Thanks!

From the Updates thread in the Critical News forum:

  • The logic for when two ML free agents or International free agents are offered the same value for a contract will see some adjustments.  There will be a few tiebreakers introduced before relying on the time the first contract was offered. The tiebreakers are as follows: Playoff contention (based on last seasons winning %), coaching staff, and ballpark.

But don't forget:

  • When comparing free agent contracts of the exact same value we are now incorporating loyalty with their previous franchise. If a player has been with a franchise for more than 5 seasons that franchise will have a significant advantage during the negotiation process.
