Prospect Contracts

- Any signing bonus added to a PC bid counts entirely towards the salary cap in the current season.

- If promoted to majors PC players count $500k for current season.

- Spec players may be offered major league deals; bidding could go PC+800k (equal to $1.3m in cash), $1.5m, PC+$1.1m
