yeah, media rev is local plus national - no other media $

i think the most up-to-date infor on national contract is ~$50M, but 5mill won't make much of a difference... local contracts are slowly sky-rocketing as older contracts come to a close... just look at what LAD makes today and what they made on their last local contract. obviously a small market won't make as large of a jump, but they are making more than enough to carry a 150-200M payroll despite their protests otherwise.

what you are going to see is that the money doesn't add up to what the teams say about their finances <cough Marlins cough cough). this is how they hold cities and local areas hostage for stadium funding, when they can easily afford 100% of the costs relative to their actual cash flows each year over the time that they will use the stadium, and then some.

anyway, you'll likely see 50-60M yearly player contracts (read: Larger than normal 2016 contracts by a lot), if you use RL data for Revenue. double check the Average Revenue per team in the financial settings... if you are significantly above 160-180 you will have significantly higher player contracts in FA. totally your opinon whether that's okay.. but worth brigning to your attention.
