what's the average? (rhetorical)

move the bigger numbers down closer to average and the smaller numbers up a bit... but keep the same average.

= more evenly distributed...

as far as how much you need to do? that will take trial and error over time.

* what a stupid suggestion, btw. even does not equal better... nor does uneven. context must disctate financial decision like that and an owner would be smarter than arbitrariyl forcing something ******ed like this... although there are definitely alot of dumn owners i am sure. (~normal distribution, some bound to be dumb)

when my payroll is rising (young -> old transition) i frontload to save money on upcoming expensive extensions...

when my payroll is decreasing, if ineed some more cash now, i will backload in that situation... i avoid backloading 99% of the time, but say it because it makes rational sense when context dictates as much.

no rational business operator would argue this rationale

i don't mind owner control over budget option, but it should be designed to hamper you on logical things. a greedy owner wouldn't even do this, becasue it is no different cost.

backloaded contracts have time ontheir side too... large inflation can occur in a short period of time in the MLB industry. a big "5th" year might not be so large by the time you get there.
