Because right now, you just see one or two 4-5 star prospects, you offer them a max $5mm contract, they say they have a better offer from another team (How? We can both only give him $5mm), and you can't renegotiate. So you're just S-O-L. Like I had a dude I offered a contract deny signing with me, saying one team had a better offer, but then he turned around and signed with a *different* team than what he originally told me he turned me down for who happen to be in my division, He's now the #1 prospect in the league, and it's like I did I even have a shot? So the AI can negotiate more? What makes these prospects pick certain landing spots, when we can only give so much money?

So you end up wasting $5 million bucks each season on like 2 star prospects, when I could maybe trade that money for a reliever, or some more developed prospects.
Yes...I'd really like to see this become a major event and similar to the MLB draft in it's buildup, hype and such. I love these ideas.
