I looked at Avalos stats and he definitely should go for that amount but apparently the market is dwindling because I guess people are skeptical about the value of a player.
Lorenzo Capps is 30 years old and most players that were similiar to his skills were selling at 1.5M when they were 29 years old. At 30, he goes for no more than $1M and because of my lack of desire to sell off a player I completely overvalued, well, I cannot capitalize on his youth anymore.
I'm about to make a rule that once a player hits 28 years old, it's best to start shopping him and try to get as much as you can for him rather than holding out any hope that they'll bring you success.
