It's really not like real life though, guys aren't signed for lifetime contracts and team budgets aren't unlimited. In real life at least there are FA's every year, the Rule-5 draft, etc.
Not about money at all btw.
I know it's disheartening to have a bunch of injuries... especially early on. But I hope you tough it out. Like I said, you've always been a good manager and it would suck to lose you.
I always look at putting guys on the DL as an opportunity to add some potential "hidden gems." Of course you usually end up adding guys that don't do anything. In past years I've added guys like JD Martinez, Kuechel, Chris Carter, , Charlie Blackmon, Pomeranz and others who either had a good year or went on to be studs when I had injuries.
Good luck either way.
