I'm sorry is my question about what you say. I do not speak English very well. im sorry.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that there can be other factors at work in where a player signs. For instance, they might be unhappy with how they are used on their current team or they might have a bad relationship with the manager. In cases like this, they might be motivated to sign with another team even if the monetary offer from their current team is greater.
Also, I am suggesting that the game might be capturing situations like that of Dallas Keuchel in the past few years. The progressions of things, from the Astros offering him a pretty large extension in 2016 which he rejected, to a more modest qualifying offer prior to him becoming a free agent this past off-season, and then his signing of a 1-year deal with the Braves at a far lower pay rate than he originally was seeking. I'm not saying that all of this exactly corresponds to the situation you and the OP are talking about, but my point is that there are these complicated processes that can break down between a club and a player and it is possible to see what you are describing as being a more compacted version of that process.
Now is that what the game is actually trying to simulate or is that just my way of justifying what the game does? I don't know.
And it is also another question entirely whether the game captures this nuance well. Probably in the eye of the beholder on that one.
