Are their some free agents who never lower their demands? In my league the free agent period just ended, and I've had my eye on a pitcher who hasn't budged on his demands since day one. Do those guys typically ask for less once spring training/regular season starts? Or are some guys just not willing to take less money?

Those guys ask for less at the start of Spring Training.

A tip I cut, pasted and saved from an old MikeT23 post:

- Sign players after the 8th ST game during the 3 PM cycle.   Demands are reduced to 1 season AND, more importantly, that's the last cycle before they take a ratings hit.

Thanks for the responses. Interestingly enough, the guy I was targeting just signed before the 2nd ST game for his original demands of 3yrs/15mil. Oh well.

I have always thought that if you don't see any reduction in a player's demand it means that he has an offer in hand. Am I wrong?

Anyone with an offer will not decrease, but not decreasing does not necessarily indicate an offer is in hand.
