In other news, the player's union has announced that players will no longer be subjected to automatic retirement when their managers fire them. Instead, players will now take their talents to the transfer market where their initial starting price will be ten times their salaries, with the maximum possible listing price for all players being $1,000,000. This new rule will apply for both bot-released players and players manually fired by their owners. Under the new rule, the only way for a player to be permanently retired is if no manager decides to buy him. This new rule will be implemented for the start of Season 17.
