Your deal is not properly structured! Your owner would not accept this.

The money I offer him (Year 1: 500,000k Year 2: 4m Year 3: 5m Year 4: 6m) needs to be distributed more evenly, apparently, which is frustrating when the player is in pre-arb, I play for a tight-fisted owner, and he won't let me extend this guy for more than the league minimum.

Other than somehow freeing up money, is there any way around this feature?

Even if you free up money i believe it will say the same thing unfortunately. I could be wrong but that's happened to me a few times and all i could do was overpay or choose not to extend.

Why would a player accept it anyway? The raise over league minimum you are offering him is the bone you are throwing for what is probably a low ball offer in his arbitration years. Acuna's deal with Atlanta is a prime example. It is very club friendly but they are overpaid the first two years. He is likely getting screwed the last three years.

Presumably that the money I'm offering would be more, on average, than he'd get through arbitration. Plus the security of knowing that money's guaranteed. I'm upping the money he'd receive in his Arb years based on the fact that I'm still underpaying him in the pre-arb. Which, again, is part of the problem.

I'd be happy to pay him more that first year and average the money out, but the game won't let me.
