Boy, this guy is realllly in debt to the team:
Paco Medellin, Single A bench coach in the Angels farm system..
Age: 45
Years left: 3
Salary: -$1,445,792,150
What do you think this coach did to owe his team $1.4 billion?
Luckily for him, he's not the only one. But I bet he wishes he was getting paid like the Single A coaches in the Athletics farm system. They're averaging over a billion dollars in salary. Maybe he could borrow from them?
I set up a simple 16 team league. Simmed 20 years. Expanded by 4. Simmed 30 years, expanded by 4 again. Simmed 5 years, added a full minor leagues, raised the draft to 100 rounds/players to fill the minor league systems. Decided to check payrolls before I set a salary cap... low and behold, it looks like this:

What on earth is going on here? I never touched the financial coefficient. I have "import adjusted financial settings after each year" checked. Weird thing is, it's only happening to coaches in the minor leagues. Player salaries are fine.
Only played OOTP less than a week my entire life and already found 3 weird bugs
. Not that I'm saying it's a bad or buggy game or anything... just some weird occurances on the first 3 leagues I've tried to start (can't move expansion teams, draft bug, now this.).
Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?
