Is that number higher than any other current RP or comparable?
Other demands compatible or is he way out of line?
Is this team a contender? Or is he shooting for the moon to play for a lower end team?

I like to think there's some "thought process" involved in the AI demands.
The guy in the original post is a free agent. There is one other reliever who makes 43M. That other reliever takes up 43M of a 230M budget. I mentioned other reliever salaries in an earlier post in this thread. The other 43M reliever is the 4th highest paid player in the entire league. No way that would ever happen irl. I might add that he is not even the closer on his team. Whatever the "thought process" it is flawed as far as reliever salaries are concerned in my opinion.
