I personally have liked the new free agent period in MLB The Show 25. Although, there are a few parts I would change about it.

1.) Player, Team & Mutual options
I miss being able to offer players contracts with these options. I liked doing it specifically for stars, in which if they do not preform well the first 2-3 years, I can decline or the player and I could mutually part ways with the options.

2.) Payout structures
I liked the idea of having front loaded and back loaded structures. This was fun for me with players developing still, and prospects as well. It kind of tags along with my options thing, because I could have a player making x amount this year, and have y amount for his contract option.

3.) Realistic motivations
I think seeing these great players like Kyle Tucker in FA going to the White Sox, the Athletics, etc. is super unrealistic. I think players should have motivations like is this a winning team, where they are from, who they get to play with (relationships), coach’s, favorite team growing up, etc.

I think it would be nice to add, on The Show 25, where you can create a RTTS player as a current MLB player. For instance, You could choose to start the RTTS as Mike Trout, Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, etc. I think it would be fun to choose any player and take over in their shoes. I just thought of this idea because I play Madden and they have an option to start as a current player. Anywho, this is my idea.
