In the future all contracts must not exceed 70%/30% (front/backload)
Rule:
Backend loading of contracts is a concern for this league. Those contracts sure feel good to the winner since those latter years can get loaded up, allowing current year salary to stay lower and manageable and help prop up AAS. However, these contracts can become major hindrances later on. As such:
1. The highest single-year salary of a contract may not exceed 2.5x the AAS.
2. The lowest single-year salary of a contract may not be less than 40 percent of the AAS.
3. For any contract that has an AAS of $20M or more, all contract years must be between 80 and 120 percent of the AAS value. All other rules still apply.
4. The total of salaries in the first half or the last half of the contract (in years) may not exceed 70 percent of the total contract dollars. If a contract covers an odd number of years, half of the middle year of the contract is counted in the last half of the contract.
For example, a franchise offers Joe Jones a five-year contract at an AAS of $13M, totaling $65M, and annual salaries of $6M, $6M, $6M, $15M and $32M. This contract is legal from the standpoint of lowest (40 percent AAS) and highest (250 percent AAS) yearly salaries. However, the last half of the contract totals $50M, or 77 percent of the contract. Therefore, the franchise's bid would be ruled invalid. An additional $4.5M of the back half would have been necessary in the first half of the contract for the bid to have been valid.
5. A franchise may only offer an AAS up to 30 percent of their salary cap (as declared in section 3) to a single player. Thus:
Tier 1 – Yankees ($155M cap): Max contract AAS = $46.5M
Tier 2 – Angels, Cubs, Dodgers, Mets, Mariners, Red Sox, Tigers, White Sox ($140M cap): Max contract AAS = $42M
Tier 3 – Astros, Blue Jays, Braves, Cardinals, Giants, Orioles, Phillies ($120M cap): Max contract AAS = $36M
Tier 4 – Brewers, Diamondbacks, Indians, Padres, Rangers, Reds, Rockies, Twins ($110M cap): Max contract AAS = $33M
Tier 5 – Athletics, Marlins, Nationals, Pirates, Rays, Royals ($100M cap): Max contract AAS = $30M
