Suggestion

Change the minor league free agency AI.

Reason

At the moment, most upcoming minor league free agents will agree to sign minor league contracts- they don't request Major League deals. That's all good, and how it should be. However, AAA-quality minor league free agents should be very reluctant to sign an extension with their current team. If they are at the top level of the minors, and their team hasn't given them a chance to play in the bigs, and hasn't added them to the 40-man roster, they should be seeking an opportunity with another organization. This is how things are in real life; most minor league free agents change teams. In OOTP, it's too easy to hoard the top-level AAA veteran talent.

Priority

Medium.
