Player Contracts

[Battman]

This is my first season with OOTP. Plan to play the decade of the 1970's. A little background - I will not hold a draft; players coming up will go to their original teams. Fictional players are allowed, as well as trading. (Not an exact replay) I only created AAA and AA minor leagues, and you must be 20 to play in the big leagues. ( I have a few players below 20 and they cannot even be traded at this time) Not sure if this is a good save for a decade play. One thing I noticed is - it seems ALL player contracts for ALL teams say - SIGNED THROUGH 1970 (arbitration). I assume that I will need to re-sign all players (and other teams will have to do the same). I haven't found much info in this area. Can this all be done during the off season, or should I work on it now? Half way through 1970 season. Any insight for a rookie on handling this area of the game would be much appreciated.

Do you have reserve clause rules enabled?

The clauses I see on the Contract Page:
>Player Opt-Out
>No-Trade Clause
>Promised Role

Yes. Reserve Clause ERA Rules is enabled.

Then players get automatically renewed. You don't have to do anything.
