RFA BIDDING GUIDELINES
AAS = up to $6M, then MINIMUM 1, MAXIMUM 3 yr deal
AAS = $6.01M to $10M, then MINIMUM 2, MAXIMUM 4 yr deal
AAS = $10.01M to $14M, then MINIMUM 3 yr deal
AAS = $14.01M to $18M, then MINIMUM 4 yr deal
AAS = 18.01M+, then MINIMUM 5 yr deal

The Maximum contract length that can be offered by a team is 6 years.
*The one exception to this is the Moyer rule. A GM may offer a contract that keeps an older player under contract until the season that the player turns 39 years old. So although an $18+ million contract normally requires at least 5 years, one could offer a player that is 36 a three year deal at $18 million. Or a 38 year-old player could receive a one year deal at over $18 million.

[Drew (Chicago Blue Jays)]

Both NY Dbacks bids are invalid, as 2023 salary is more than a 40% differentiation from the AAS. High bid reverts to KC Marlins.
