When do you resign coaches, especially in the minor leagues? If you wait until the day between season-end and off-season it seems likely the coach won't sign unless you match his demand exactly.

Let's say you want to keep your pitching coach who's contrat expires this year. He wants $300K for 5 more years. You'd like to pay him $250K for 4 years.

How soon before the season end do you have to start this process before you lose the chance to extend the contract, have him walk on Day 1 of the offseason, and then have to sign a brand new contract?

The AI always extends coaches on the day before the off-season, and not always for the demand price. How does a human do this?
