If you haven't yet started a franchise, you can edit Shields' contract down to what the Sox will actually pay. There really isn't a great way to make SD pay for it without increasing someone else's contract on the Padres. That can be tricky if the player is released or traded.

But, you can't edit salaries at all after you are already in franchise mode.

Last year with Josh Hamilton I think what I did was I edited a crummy AA player on the Angels to have the salary that LAA was paying and then I gave Hamilton his real life salary on TEX that way both teams have the accurate financial responsibility. Kinda sucks cause you got a minor leaguer with some huge contract but it helps with the financial realism

To me that's a less realistic option than just letting the team off the hook, which is what I do for the team subsidizing a player's contract on another team.

But in most of these big salary trades, the team eating the money is doing so to make the other player go away which is why I keep the salary on the team because they were so desperate to get rid of the player

Sure, but having an AA player with a $30 million contract doesn't do it for me, lol.

What we really need is for MLB 17 to have worked in some more nuance to the contracts (vesting options, cash in trades, signing bonus, edit salary by year, edit salary within a mode, PTBNL, etc) to really do it justice.

I really wish the PTBNL could be added in, that would add a whole new level of fun to franchise if you could create a list of players they could choose from and then halfway through the offseason a player just disappears from your team lol

Wasn't being a dick, just stated a fact that has been mentioned numerous times within this very thread. A quick perusal would've let you know that without having to post. Since you seemed to be the tl;dr type, I gave you the tl;dr response.
