I have noticed this too. It's not just relievers. In general, Superstars are signing cheap, unrealistic contracts.
the problem is teams will usually use up their free agent budget signing a bunch of cheaper players. Now no one has money for a superstar so they get a stupidly cheap contract. In real life teams would prioritize allocating money to sign a superstar first, rather than locking up a few old middle relievers, 4th outfielder, and a backup catcher and then assuming Mike Trout or Bryce Harper will sign for 15-20M a year
