I saw this in the one sim I ran as a test too. Not quite as bad, but Harper signed for something like 4 years and $22 million or something like that. At the start of the season, I looked into doing extensions with guys, and their starting points were crazy high. Neil Walker for instance just got jobbed into a $4 million 1 year deal, but started out by asking for 8 years and $29 million per before a single game.
Love the game, but this is an area with room to improve. Contracts are by far the toughest thing to balance though, especially with the way the market has gone the last few years. Not sure if there is a way to keep teams from making too many offers at a time to avoid the issue you noted, but that does seem to be the problem in my experiences.
