This is not new, as I am the commish of beemer's league that doesn't allow early extensions. Good luck getting it looked at, I've been on a few betas and have banged the drum on this quite often. You can play around with the AI evaluation percentages (like current year stats, previous year, ratings), but it is an art, especially early in the season. I think the best way is to set it to about 80% ratings, 20% prior season's stats when you are in the first month or two, but even then you get some discounts.
The same applies for guys making rookie deals or early arbitration. They are bought out way to easily and for much cheaper, but like I said, it's been BZed in the past and not really addressed. It actually works the other way sometimes too during arbitration. I've seen guys making 4M in their first year of arbitration sign for 6-7M x 2, thus the AI is possibly paying them over value and not getting extra years. It would make sense realistically if that built some kind of "goodwill" or something between player and team, but I don't think that exists.
