I got contracts/service time done for all teams, and am running some tests before releasing.

But in every sim season I'm seeing an issue... AI teams quite simply aren't offering extensions to their star players even when they have money, and as a result every year free agency is littered with top stars..

I'm not entirely sure why this is happening, or what I'm missing. I may have to run some test seasons with the default MLB league to see if this is simply a bug with the game, or something to do with this roster.

Example from season I'm currently testing ...

Pirates - projected surplus of $64 million, no qualifying offer or extension made to:

a 94 overall SP who is 28 years old, a 91 rated SP who is 29 ...

Cardinals - $63 million projected surplus, no qualifying offer or extension offe rmade to a 91 OVR OF who is 28

Arizona with a projected $68 million surplus did not offer to a 29-year-old 99 rated 1B.

Rockies have a projected surplus of $118 million and are letting walk without a qualifying offer or extension a 96, 92 and 89 rated SP. They made one offer for $15 million to their 87 rated 1B.

These are just a few examples, but basically across the league, teams have money to spend, but are just letting their best players walk. I'm not really sure what the issue is to be honest. If anyone has insight that would be great.
