So when you signed Baker for $10mil....if he had played in the majors that year, he would of got paid 10mil per season until arbitration?
But because he was left in the minors in the 1st year, did he get an automatic minimum wage renewal?

Yes If I would have stuck him in the majors that year he would have had a 10 mil salary until arb. Because he got left in the minors he got paid 10 mil that year, and the following season he automatically went to a minor league deal which was no money at all.
When I was ready to move him up I signed him to a normal mlb contract instead of him getting 190k or whatever it was, because I wanted to lock him up to a cheaper deal rather than letting him hit arb and having him give me a pounding...
Thats messed up in game too and not reflected in the games history as I signed him to like a 3 year deal at like 1.5 a season.
