I don't know why you'd want to do this, but just add 20% to everybody. They're consistently 20% low. It's been like that for three years.

Wrong. Adrian Gonzales is set at 4.0M instead of 21M. There are also others that are off by more than 20%

If I'm not mistaken, didn't he sign a smaller 1-year contract with the Sox as a FA before signing that monster around the beginning of the season? I could be wrong, but I think that's why he's at 4 mil.

Re: Player Contract

I wouldn't touch the contracts. It screws up the budgets available. Lets say total payroll is $100 mil and your budget is $110 mil. If you edit contracts so total payroll is $105 mil, your budget will increase to anything from $120 mil to $130 mil. The budget/contract relationship is screwed up it's not a 1:1 ration and budgets aren't fixed. So if you wanted to edit let's say the Tigers to be close to their budget it's impossible.

You can test it and see if you can find some sort of relationship but I don't think any logical one exists.

2011: $6.5 million, 2012-16: $21 million, 2017-18: $21.5 million

Regardless, the mass majority are 20% less and the variations are probably signing bonus or typos. You should try to correct those, not redo everything. If you did for whatever reason really really want to attempt to redo every contract, your first step should be raising everybody 20% because that would "correct" 99.9% of the problem.
