This becomes a very serious issue when paired with the fact that the game doesn't include limited no-trade clauses for recently signed free agents (MLB won't let you trade a newly signed FA until June 1st, as I recall). Nothing stops you from signing players to bad contracts during the off-season, then trading them to the AI for players with more desirable contracts. As long as the AI's team has budget room, it won't mind.
