OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Too many minor league contract extensions

The problem is that players are accepting these extensions before their free agent year has even been played out. Sure a lot of veterans take minor league deals but it's usually after an offseason of testing the market and getting no offers. I couldn't imagine a veteran player taking a minor league contract extension in the preseason of his free agent year.
