Another question on free agents

Jasper70 · 09-05-2023, 10:33 PM

So, attempting to sign a free agent.
He wants a minor to major option for $60,000 which is way under the MLB minimum. What happens if he is promoted? MLB minimum or $60,000?
I offered him that minor to major deal but the game doesn't allow it

Offer him the league minimum.

The $60,000 is a bonus. If the player gets called up to MLB they will make the league minimum (prorated for the days they are up).

Two options for minor contracts.

Minor w/major league option (something > minimum typically), no signing bonus, and they can opt for FA if not promoted within 30 days of season start.

Minor w/signing bonus, they can't opt for FA, and will get league minimum if promoted.
