It's more of a problem for relievers, who seem to demand money that dwarfs the Papelbon deal and end up on one year deals. Not quite a bug, but seems very unrealistic.
I have not messed with the financial settings in any way.

Long-time player, first-time poster... I noticed that players have very high valuations of themselves. I was playing as GM of the Giants. Lincecum had a great season in 2015, for sentimental reasons offered him 3 years/40 million (20-10-10). He elected to go FA, and wound up signing with a Mexican League team for 5M. Think the AI should have players prioritize signing in their native countries as older free agents, unless the money is greater or if the hidden "I want to play in a foreign country" variable is high.
I saw the all-star voting issue with pitchers, as well.
Outside of those minor things, loving the game. Great work devs!
