- We detail the difference between your in-season salary cap and offseason salary cap. This is the reason you may be having issues re-signing players during the season.
Thanks PlayStation for the game!

Let me know if you guys have an idea of why the game does this. Does it work this way in the actual MLB?
Being there's no salary cap at all in the actual MLB, they seem to be simulating owner's discretion as modified by their profit interests and current attitude toward competing. Of course, you can't negotiate with the AI boss but the best I can say is that it makes a modicum of sense that an owner would rather add to payroll via a trade than a new commitment of money in season (flexibility and something outgoing) But that's certainly very contextual and shouldn't be hard coded into this confusing system. I'm still wondering whether or not the underlying logic is heavily considering arbitration and pre-arbitration raises and heavily discounting anything having to do with revenue projections if your team on paper should be below .500. I'd love to see a budget system primer video since they moved back away from weekly budget.
I made a pirates franchise that I'm 5 years into I pretty much have no budget money left and had to trade away my one of my best pitchers in tyler glasnow that I had signed to a 4 year deal which he help us win a world series then a year after I had to trade him because I needed to resign Andrew McCutchen who had a career resurgence and won the batting title I had to pay him some money to stay.
If you trade players with backloaded contracts this would also help resigning payroll space (assuming CY < FY ). If you had a player with a 5MM payroll this year and he received a 5y/75MM extensions previously, in theory, you would open up $10MM in resigning space. There are not too many cases where I see this as practical. You have to make sure that FY salaries are greater than CY to make any difference and normally players that get an extension like this (Ketel Marte as an example) you wouldn't really want to get rid of to free up the space. Just thought I would throw this out there in case there is an extension that the CPU made in the offseason or on the roster that the Player didn't like.
Nope. During extensions you can do whatever you want in real life
Essentially midseason contract extensions don't really work as you would think
I really don’t like how mlb the show implements resigning, I lost a 97 overall pitcher to free agency even tho I gave him a max contract, I wish I had the opportunity to resign him in the regular to essentially have first dibs, I even tried to open up $60 million dollars in my budget for that year and it still only said I had $5 million for resigning. Really doesn’t make sense but thank you for the video it helps a lot
Thanks for the insight. I have run into this in the past and I just Figured it was a limitation of the coding. Thanks for clearing that up a bit.
I miss when you could buy more budget room. Teams like the Yankees, Mets and Dodgers always have huge budgets which allows them to sign better players. Then you're stuck with the budget you got with smaller market teams.
You can get more budget room by winning with a much cheaper budget (than your budget), which you can do if you make a butt load of trades
Very very helpful!! Thanks!! I already traded my closer to try to make room to extend another player but it didn't work. Kinda bummed but I did get decent value in return. O well. But now I can rest easy knowing that I'll still be able to extend at the end of the season. Thank you!
EVERYONE!!! I have found the cheat code. BEFORE you start a franchise go into the edit player section. Simply go to general and go under to the contracts section. You can make it so a top player makes $750k for the next 10 years lol. You will never have to worry about budgets again.
MLB are fully guaranteed contracts so you would be adding a lot more money into the pool. You add the two contracts together
Great video! I can't find an exact reason why this occurs. I've seen in other comments online that, for resigning, it is CY - FY payroll for budget during the season. If I could speculate the game is doing this for the benefit of elite payroll teams which create a drawback for the small payroll teams. It's unlikely, but I'm picturing a scenario where a massive payroll team locks up a ton of extensions beyond the 5 years we can see in the contracts window (technically this could be any team but a larger payroll would be able to front the money for more back loaded contracts). This could create an unreasonable cap situation that could be well beyond cap space and obtainable revenue. I'm also not sure how in depth revenue sharing is in this game. That adds another unknown liability since it would increase with payroll.
It would be better if they implemented a system where owners had financial restrictions based on their objectives for the GM contract. Teams would then have a range of future payroll they could use to resign players. It would also be nice if we instead had a flat "75% of CY budget can be used for FY resigning a during the season" rule stated. That way if there were an abundance of cap space, you wouldn't have to wait to resign everyone in the off-season. It can be a lot to take into account all of the pending contracts in the off-season before adding the possible midseason ones in
You definitely have a point.
How would sponsorships affect the margins?🧐
@@olinshaw I never really used sponsorships but I believe they work like [you get a certain $x per W, HR, etc added to the CY payroll]. In this case I believe it would add slightly to your resigning pool because CY would be increasing and FY stay the same. Now if I am wrong and the sponsorship money is available after the season, then anything you gain from sponsorships would not affect your in season resigning pool. (contract extension pool. I keep mentioning it as resigning).
Jacob, does re-signing or extending player contracts help boost their morale?
Does morale even do anything? I know they did away with it affecting their overall but we cant even see why the players are upset now
@@wrydstepbr0_0 has a slight effect on contract negotiations. I believe after 20 it stopped effecting rating
Morale is useless at this point and was half baked when it was implemented
And yet they didn't fix this for 23 either. Why is MLB The Show so stupid when it comes to budgeting and this game? Madden has had this down for 20+ years, and MLB The Show can't ever get this right.
So, should I max out my available budget and spend it all, hoping that next year they give me more?
Also, if I max it out, can I trade millions worth of my big players I want to get rid of, to then have those funds to resign?
Also... are there cap penalties like there are in Madden? Sometimes you get rid of a 20 million player, and it shows you only have 8 million funds more available. In Madden, that would be a cap penalty, but MLB The Show doesn't show it.
