This is driving me nuts...I'm not understanding how the $$$ for extensions works. Example from my current season: On 7/2, prior to a multi-player trade I initiated, Front Office showed my $ for extensions at 377K. Made the trade, a 1-for-2 trade plus I got 750K in cash; players were roughly "contract equal." My extensions $ jumped to 1.78M! How? I have no idea!

Then on 7/11, a FA that I signed to a MiLB contract, promoted to my active roster to cover a player with a nagging DtD injury, sent a personal message re: an extension. Reasonable and figuring I have 1.78M available, why not explore now? Well, somehow my extensions $ is now magically NONE! Huh? How does it drop 1.78M with NO other actions taken between 7/2 & 7/11?

Can someone please explain how these calculations are actually being done so that I can better understand the ramifications of player moves I make? As it stands, it appears to me to be completely random...although my intuition says it's not...or is it?

Oh, and I should have mentioned that I've seen this same behavior in both games I'm currently playing.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment anyone can provide!
