HBD Free Agency Asks

Two items that I think would improve free agency and overall play —

1. Minor league players that become free agents after 5 yrs of service should be asking for minor league contracts with invites to spring training instead millions of dollars. Potentially useful organizational depth pieces end up lingering and having their ratings drop unsigned for years on end because no one wants to pay them their ask. This would also help new owners, who are sometimes duped into giving bad contracts to players because they are just going along with a player’s asking pricing. Also, for owners having fatigue issues in the minors this could help because they could easily go in and sign one of these players for cheap.

2. Somewhat related, at a certain point within the first month of a season, all free agents should be willing to accept a minor league deals or at least major league deals for the minimum. Again, potentially useful players end up languishing in free agency for years before they finally retire after their ratings decline enough.

Apologies if there is already a feature request for this, I tried searching but couldn’t find anything.
