I just want the offseason stuff to somewhat mirror real life. In real life, superstars don't sign with small market, non-contending teams on the cheap, and stud relief pitchers never get ignored into the next regular season. For small teams to contend, they have to do with through the draft and small contract free agents, and big budget teams usually take the chance on the higher-priced guy.

So from an immersion standpoint, it's unrealistic and I wondered if the AI valued players in a way that might need some tweaking.
This is a big point. Manny Machado signed for 17M/5 year in my game with Tampa. Zach Britton went unsigned until 2 days before regular season and then I picked him up for 5.2M/2 years. Neither of these scenarios make any sense on so many levels.
