It seems the new strategy is low balling contracts for extended terms
Given that free agency did not occur until the 1970's, and that ball players were not much more than chattel property back then, can we discuss a rule that as long as the total contract amount exceeds the previous offer (i.e 3 years x $3k trumps 7 years x $1k) that we can amend this salary process.
I can see where somewhere down the road teams will have to offer ruinous contracts to secure the top talent, and that if that top talent goes down earlier than the end of the contract we will have teams cease to be competitive honoring bad contracts or team going bust.
Thoughts?

The yearly amount must be greater and the total contract amount must be greater than the previous offer. The player would most definitely sign the larger contract offer at shorter years.

I think this is a good rule change
