Tight fisted owners

When free agency rolls around, whenever I make an offer to a marquee free agent, I get a message saying the owner doesn't approve the deal because there's not enough money, even if there is 35 to 40 million available for free agents, according to the financial screen. Other than going into commissioner mode, is there a setting I'm not seeing that will make the owner loosen the purse strings a bit?

You may have $35-40 MM to offer to free agents, but how much do you have for extensions? Most marquee free agents want multi-year deals, so you have to look sometimes 2 or 3 years or more down the line.

So in a hypothetical situation, you want to sign a top player to a 8 year/$200 million deal ($25 million per). You've got $40 million this year, but next year, your #4 hitter is expected to get $8 million in arbitration, and you #2 pitcher is expected to get $7 million. Well that leaves you with $25 million, but there are also 5 or 6 bench players about to get between $800 K and $1.2 Million as well. So now your budget next year is only $23.3 Million. Don't forget, you have to set aside $7 million for draft bonuses. Now you're dealing with a budget of $16 million next year, and even less in years 3, 4, and 5.
