Of course it can but the players you refer to for the most part are already tied to the AI team. No negotiation is required

Of course it can. It just doesn't need to sign players it already has under contract. Any other FA is signable as I previously pointed out

It can but the ability to pull back from waivers indicates that the player does not need resigning as he is tied to the team until FA applies at either MLB or minor league levels

No it is not. I've showed overwhelming evidence that a very small subset of players is affected and you continue to ignore that.

That is the small subset of players. If the problem is so bad why don't you show me some. I've already acknowledged this three or more times and you still can't show me a single player.
