I've had a stud 28yr old outfielder go for $32m a year in 2027, with the salary cap at $110m a year. Haven't simmed that season out yet to see how that team does, but spending 1/3rd of your cap money on one guy can never be good.

I've signed pitchers to $25m/6 yr and $19m/5 yr deals, but these were guys that were true studs -- WHIPs always around 1.00, tons of K's -- but to date I haven't gotten out of the first round of the playoffs. Good pitching beats good hitting, but I've tied up so much of my money ($46m of $110m) in those two that I can't afford great hitters to score some runs. And my opponents have great pitchers also.
