Kershaw's contract was realistic because he signed 2 days into free agency. The rest of the players went into January, February and March without signing. By then, their demands were at least 50% lower because nobody had any money left, and thus small market teams were able to sign them.
This breaks immersion for me. Superstars should sign early and/or their demands should mostly be met. They also shouldn't be interested in signing with a small market team that isn't contending generally, just because that's the way the modern MLB works. Superstars aren't going to Minnesota, Tampa and Milwaukee in free agency.

Do you think raising the ave attendance in the league options would help by giving the AI teams more money to spend or do you think they would not use the extra money on free agency anyway. Until OOTP looks at this there must be something we can do to make the AI equal with us. Trouble is we would get more money also..............Z
