(2) Awards being added to team Salary Cap

[Brian R (Rangers)]

• $ added to the salary cap for all team playoff appearances, pennants, and World Series wins AND individual awards won (posted in trophy area)
• $ added to the salary cap for all team playoff appearances, pennants, and World Series wins, NO money for individual awards
• Nothing for awards

This added salary cap money will stay as part of your cap forever so that it continues to accumulate but your salary cap cannot go down.

I envision it as being a way to mimic natural salary cap inflation
