Anyone else noticed a change this year in contract extensions for pre-arbitration players? The asking prices are way low compared to previous version of the game and compared to real life. Granted, you'll always have a Jon Singleton or Ozzie Albies who signs for way cheap early on, but in my current O's rebuild, I am able to lock up 3 key pieces for way cheap in early 2021.

Rutschman 7 years/$17.3m
Mountcastle 6 years/$12m
Hays 6 years $17m

If one of these guys signed cheap, I wouldn't have thought twice. But the fact that all three were willing to, with Rutschman being a top prospect and Hays being a top-100, seems off. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this difference in 21 and if there's a tweak to fix it.
