I just feel like it generally needs to be a bit harder to sign players for cheap.

I have never seen a problem with this in my games. The limit is always team finances not player demand which is exactly how it should be. If teams dont need him or have no money to spend then the player needs to wait for spring training and take a smaller offer or just not play. This has happens every year in my game and its true to life in my opinion.
Besides, I have found that super star FA are never worth it except maybe starting pitchers especially with the games injury rate. You are 100x better off saving for the draft and/or offering extensions to current player or picking up good left over FA's at spring training discounts to have a deep chart. This appears to be true in real life as well.
That said, if your teams have a ton of money and they are still not spending then that is a different issue altogether. I have never seen this though.
