^what Brian said about $327k max is correct. But in my experience if two offers have a similar bonus, the salary matters. So let's say somebody offers $20M bonus with minor league w/invite contract, and I offer $19.5M bonus with 327k x3 salary. Technically my offer is higher overall so the Sim favors my offer as #1.
However, note that since approx a year ago agent emails began saying "my client appreciates the offer but will only sign a minor league deal". I'm not sure if that's something they patched for all prospects, or just random RNG that I'm experiencing all the time...
I've only ever signed an IFA to a big league deal once, and IIRC it was because he
asked for a big league deal. Can't think of any time I offered BL and
didn't get the "thanks but all I'm looking for is a minors deal and I'll prove my worth" response.
Not to say that anything is impossible or even unlikely, but I think we're talking about rare outcomes here.
