Franchise Mode Free Agency Salaries

Anyone who’s played the mode knows just how bad free agent contracts are. I want to highlight one position on specific because it’s pretty appalling after looking at the cost to resign my own players.

Catchers seem to demand similar contracts to relievers, I’m just not sure why this is the case at all. I just hit 2027 free agency. Adley is there (88 ovr, 30 y/o, B potential, coming off a 6 war season). No qualifying offer, in fact he only asking for 15m a season! It’s not just him, Contreras is also there, even better (91 ovr, 30 y/o, A potential, 6.5 last season) asking for only 74m over 4 years???? How are these guys asking for such a low amount when O Hearn (1B, 35 y/o, B potential, 4 war season) is asking for 15m a season as well? Hell, even Griffin Jax is asking for 15m a season!

Meanwhile, all the corner outfielders and starting pitchers at the same overall, potential, age are asking for 30m a season at the same overall and got the qualifying offer made (Steele, Wheeler, Kwan).

It makes no sense really at all, feels like this is something that is an obvious problem that could have been discovered with some simple play testing. Does anyone know of any sort of free agent contract sliders you can put into place to adjust this? Or is this just what we get.
