Looking at the math here.

You are currently at $110,625,200 with a 120M player budget.
After you lost out on Aguilera you signed Wells for $2,665,000.
This means that before you signed Wells your payroll was $107,960,200, leaving 12,039,800 to sign Aguilera with.
You say you offered him a $10M bonus and $5M for his first season = 15M. That's nearly 3M more than you had at the time...

There's your answer. Unfortunately, if you had an invalid bid on the same cycle he signed, it might not tell you that was the reason -- but it was. Additionally, if you were the only other bidder and you didn't have a valid bid for that cycle, that could raise the odds of accepting the remaining bid.

You guys are all way off base. He chose Montreal as the women are hotter than Tacoma and NY.Hahaha!!

I signed Wells well after the FA I was going for signed with New York .

I had aroand 105,000,000 at player pay roll at 120,000,000 budget when I targeted this FA. 10m signing bonus plus the 5 m 1st year salaries is alli could offer. I was listed number 1 for many cycles on this offer with no other FA targets.

How did I lose out on Luis Aguilea? I had him number 1 on his list leading the whole time. I offers a 10million bonus with the first season at 5m/2nd season 10m/3rd season 10m/4th season 12m/5th season at 12m. With player option He took another team the very last cycle of FA at 8.8m with 2 million bonus/2nd season 10m/3rd season at 10m/4th season at 8.8m Not sure if it's a glitch to be leading the whole time them lose out on the FA like this

Dan, Sometimes the player will make a decision without giving teams a chance to counter. In this case, the accepted offer came in right before he decided.

So players can take way less money to another team in this game in the very last cycle without notification? Another owner in this league also offered way more for that player. This doesn't clarify why this happened. It doesn't say any of that what you just response on how free agents accept teams. Sounds like a game glitch to me and this how you will lose out on people paying over $20 A season to play this game if stuff like this isn't corrected or responded with what really happened.

Sorry, I thought your issue was the fact that you didn't have a chance to counter the winning offer. On face value, it does look like your offer was better. Let me investigate further to try to come up with the reason.

Notice, that in the 2nd response he basically admits to not actually reading the question first time through...

My question was really straight forward.

Minus the Wells signing (I also mentioned that you didn't sign him until after Aguilera signed with NY) you had just under 108M spent NOT 105. unless there is a different signing I missed.
