Its two years later and Prince Fielder just signed a five year 215 MILLION dollar contract, averaging about 43 million dollars a year.
In league setup super-star quality players are set up to earn about 17 million a year. Did I just set a horrible precedent with my Reyes signing or is this a glitch? The game is not as fun when all of my stars are asking for 24 million dollars to be resigned

The problem is what you said at the start of your post: you and I'm guessing other teams have ridiculous amounts of cash. Even if you have super-star players set to earn around $17M, free agents will see the stockpiles of cash on the balance sheet and adjust up their salary requests accordingly, seeing that you can afford more. Hence the really large deals you see. Your options are to cut the cash maximum or to restrict the revenue each team gets. Either should reduce free agent requests over time I would think.
