I guess I should have been more detailed in my post. My point is that you'd never get an OOTP player with Moore's potential to do that kind of deal. If someone can get an OOTP player to sign that kind of contract as a 5-star prospect, then I want to know the financial settings they're using.

well i guess i am not smart
.
i actually have done it effectively, but probably because my 5 star players are not the same as OSA.
i currently have my number 2 starter, with an ERA+ of 130 for the last 2 years locked in at $3-4M up to FA, and $5M vesting options for following 2 years.
my 2 times gold glove SS, is signed at $2M per year for 4 more years, and his arbitration estimate reads $3M currently.
also major prospects with Low Greed, i have been able to lock.
