This doesn't make economic sense:
A free agent is free to negotiate. He gets paid what he is worth to a team in the free market. If a younger player of equal talent takes the job he wanted, he asked too much and should have lowered his salary expectations.
Quote:What’s happened in the market is you have a ton of players in their early 30’s, solid major-league baseball players that are free agents but they can’t get major league contracts. Because you can find somebody younger and significantly cheaper and the “WAR won’t be much different. So they are forced to sign minor league contracts. Which gives the organization the upper hand.
