Extension budget

Can someone explain how this works? I was trying to resign a player but told I have no money for extensions. This is in the regular season, arbitration period, and just after arbitration hearings (the pause before free agency). Then, as soon as free agency starts, one day later, I have $37m for free agents. How does that work? Here's my accounting page, if it helps:

Money for extensions counts next year's budget and expenses. Some reasons why the money varies depending when you look at it:

-During the season, if I recall, cash does not count towards extension budgets. So if you're swimming in cash, that is basically allocated to this year until this year is over, then you can use it for extensions.
-Arbitration estimates and options are essentially calculated in until they aren't there any more. So if players opt-out, extension money can go up. Similarly if you non-tender arbitration players, you won't be able to use that for extensions until the arbitration period is over.

There may be other things that change too, but those tend to be the biggest causes of budget space movement.

Well this includes a period after arbitration hearings, the day before free agency. I figured out at least partially what is going on. After arbitration hearings but before free agency the game puts the player's new contract into the column for their previous year, and their upcoming salary is estimated at an increase based on that new salary.

For example: my 1B made 7.5 million in 2035 and got 10.6m in arbitration. After the arbitration hearing his 2035 salary is listed at 10.6 and his projected 2036 salary is estimated based on that (14.4m). It does this even for players with no more years of arbitration left.

After hearing, before free agency:



After free agency begins:
