Any Plans to Adjust Reliever Compensation?
I believe reliever compensation has been over-adjusted between game versions. While it is nice to see top relievers such as Devin Williams getting paid similarly to their real-life counterparts (i.e. Josh Hader, Edwin Diaz), I'm seeing a lot of demands/contracts in my save for relievers in the 50-55 grade region such as:
- 53 Colin Poche: 3 years, $79,200,000
- 53 Danny Coulombe: 2 years, $32,000,000
- 50 Erik Swanson: 3 years, $27,000,000
- 49 Luke Jackson: 2 years, $18,000,000 following a September release
Context: the in-game year on this save is the beginning of 2026, so the financial system has not been running long enough to be significantly different from reality. All other financial settings are default as well.
While all these players have value and it's refreshing to not be able to build a super bullpen with ease, I do feel the pendulum has swung a bit far in the other direction with this iteration.
My personal feelings aside, I'm wondering, is the development team happy with the current state of reliever valuation or do you anticipate dialing it back some in the coming months?
