Question

Why do owners pay free agent baseball players more money

Answer 1

before free agency was notified prior to the 1976 season, baseball players had almost no money to field multiple

Answer 2

Players who are ranked in the top twenty percent of their group are designated Type A free agents… those who place between 21 percent to 40 percent are designated as Type B. Clubs only receive compensation for a Type A or B free agent if they offered their former player the opportunity for salary arbitration. Thus they get paid more only because while they were in the league they were paid less.
