Where are my WARBucks?

I am in an intro league using the Favorite teams format. I was limited to selecting players with a total WAR (I love that term) of 85. To be cautious, I "spent" only 75-80 of the budget, looking ahead to having some operating capital after the season started.

However, I can't seem to find it now that Free Agents are a factor. I even picked up a marginal pitcher to see if the acquisition would prompt a mention of my WAR chest. It did not.

Am I out five to ten bucks, or do I just not know how to navigate the web site?

Having fun o/w. This site has gone from being VG when I first tried it (over ten years ago) to EX! Superb work! (Still want my WARBucks, though.)

I think the WAR budget is for the team building, not FA signings.

That is right. WAR budget is not dollars. It is the players actual WAR. If there is FA in WAR leagues, it costs zip.
