Franchise free agency is terrible

I just picked up MLB the Show25 and the free agency system in franchise mode is total dogshit. PLEASE tell me this was just an experiment and they aren't going to do this garbage again in 26.

It is horribly bad and, since Franchise is my main mode, makes the game unplayable. When the very first offseason of a franchise makes me want to punt my PS5 into the sun, you done effed up SD.
