Option 2:
All IFAs 22 and under (from the time they sign) automatically go into the FYPD. ( Ex. Yasiel Puig, Jorge Soler)
All IFAs 23 and over can be bid on after they have signed. The bidding process will be a one year offer similar to a signing bonus. This will count against your cap for that year only. If you win the player he will come with the equivalent of a Franchise Tag. After the first year, the player's contract will then become the real life contract he signed.
( Ex. Yu Darvish, Ryu Hyun-jin)
There may have to be small adjustments but this is the basis of the new proposal.

I've said it in the past...unless there are very heavy restrictions on the signing bonus method, people will find ways to exploit the method. I'd like to hear how you plan to regulate that before I'd agree to change it.

This will only be for IFAs, not for all other prospects.
How do you regulate that?

It is 10x better than the asinine contracts that Darvish and Cespedes, etc get in here.

I mean there should be like a certain bidding system so a team who has only prospects can't just constantly bid their whole salary cap on the player, and then get the cheaper real life contract the year after. It just doesn't seem fair to me that someone could just overpay for one year, instead of having to outbid for the whole contract.
I've said it in the past, personally I'd be all for putting in IFA players under 23 in the draft and everyone over gets bid on fair and square in regular free agency. If he gets a bad contract, that's the fault of the owner...many MLB players get bad contracts too...hell...I've signed Nishioaka and Madson to equally horrible contracts in back to back offseasons.

it's a one year signing bonus, so I don't really see a need for a cap. You have the money spend it how you see fit.

Since it's one year, I don't see a problem with no budget limit. Even if you did institute a limit, it'd be a bit goofy. Set it at $7.0M, for example, and then what? The first person to bid the max? The team lowest in the rankings last season? Meh. Sounds like a PIA. Do we really need to complicate it even further with a limit?

IFA limit would only hurt teams trying to rebuild. It's already a slow process as it is. It really seems like it would just complicate things.
