Suggestion
Allow for a team/manger to make verbal promises (incentives) to a free agent.
Reason
In real life, a team may persuade a player to sign with them by promising he will be the team's closer or starting third baseman for example. I think it would offer a new dimension to the free agent signing process if teams are allowed to make promises to a player. Promises can vary from guaranteeing a starting position, specific role, or a spot on the active roster.
If promises are broken, the signed player's morale would significantly dropped. Also, perhaps every GM should have a dynamic reputation rating. Honoring promises would boost the GM's reputation and therefore have free agents more likely to sign with those teams. Broken promises would lower the GM's reputation and make it more wary for free agents to sign.
Currently in OOTP9, a free agent factors in the money offered, loyalty, team record and team location when making a decision. I think adding a verbal promise feature would enhance the current incentive/reward feature that already exists.
