I don't care if you're Alex Rodriguez. If no one pays you what you want, you're gonna go play for someone eventually rather than quit baseball.

I love that they drop their demands as well. Again, I have
no problem with a player getting burned by his own excessive demands and finding himself unemployed come mid-season having to swallow his pride and lumping a lowball 1-year offer with the hopes of rebuilding his value for the next free agency cycle. That happens in real life as well, and it's great to see it modeled in OOTP.
What
doesn't happen in real life is a star player asking for 8 digit salaries per season suddenly agreeing to sign a
multi-year contract for less than league-average salary. That's just aberrant behavior by the AI, at least as far as I see it.
I'm curious: are any of you experiencing this behavior? I'd love to know if it's just our league or something more global. I'd also be interested to learn if this might be an issue that's cleared up during the conversion to OOTP 9.
