How are you getting on with this aspect of the game??

Sorry for the late respons.
I agree that it's complex - much more so then for example NHL (maybe that's a interest/culture thing, an area i've been interested in and put time in since young age) but still, i feel MLB & baseball is pretty hard to understand.
Have read tons of text about contracts / the finance part of the sport / game.
Where i get comfort in understanding is service years. Have created basic knowledge and maybe more than basic about how many years each contract detail takes to kick in. It's a part of the game OOTP does great compared to many other management/simulation games - available information of service time, arbitration and so on. It really helped me understand and educated me to this stage where i feel pretty comfortable in that specific area
