Last week, we discussed when bad teams should attempt to sign free agents. The primary scenarios in which this makes sense are when the team stands an outside chance of competing, and when there also will be a valuable market for that player at the trade deadline in the likely scenario that the team is not competitive. In this case, the premium that competitive teams should place on having players for the stretch run is often to allow the team to recoup some of their lost money on the player.
