Currently the game doesn't allow you to hire new players if you are in financial trouble, but also doesn't allow you to cut players below a minimum, so it prevents people from righting the ship...

Bump that up to half-a-million and then we’re talking.  The only players who earn less than $0.50M are minor league players, so you’d be damning the team to looking for either players who aren’t ready for the bigs or underdeveloped players who never went anywhere on other teams. That’s not righting the ship, that’s ensuring complete lack of competitive play from the ballclub.  Since you’d have to promote them to the Majors to play them, they’re already guaranteed to be earning $0.50M, so why not just raise the limit to what they’d be earning anyway? At least that way they’d have a shot at finding under-the-radar guys who could actually be more useful than trotting Larry, Curly, Shemp, and Moe out onto the field.  (I speak from some experience, too. My first few seasons were run on a shoestring budget, and I got surprisingly good mileage out of some $500K guys.) Updated Tuesday, February 20 2018 @ 1:49:05 pm PST

Would have to include players up to $0.50M. So what would you do otherwise, just give up the team and request another one?
