I think this would be a really bad route to take. It sounds good in theory but just think about it for a minute if it were put into practice. All of a sudden you have a huge influx of teams that now need to spend that cash or else essentially lose it. If they don't spend it, it will drive up their salary demands. People wouldn't be able to get rid of big sums through dealing cash for picks because the team that would be taking the cash would just have their own demands go up unless they planned on spending that cash right away. So that narrows it down to two options, stadium building/upgrades or FA. If you go the FA route salaries are going to go through the roof. Which isn't bad on the surface but the ripple effect would be enormous. Think Jrod's contract is big now just imagine if teams had nowhere to spend the cash except on fa's. What that would do is also drive up the demands on every player at that position that is similary rated. Guys like jrod would get bumped up to the high 30mil's and now every pitcher like him is going to demand that in the re-signing phase.
The only way this would work without completely throwing off the balance is to force teams with more than 50mil at the end of next season they have to spend it on stadium stuff so its completely flushed out of the league.
This is something that would have had to be done years ago if not right in the beginning. In 5tm theres no banks and people still have loads of cash so its not even guaranteed to solve any "issues" in the first place. There really isn't a problem here. Teams having lots of cash haven't hurt the league so let them hoard it and hopefully then one day just build a stadium.
I've never really liked cash incentives for anything let alone something you should be doing like posting lineups so yeah do away with that. Or make it something miniscule so its more of a thank you. Say 1mil, which would be enough to pay for a couple league min guys.
If the goal is to eliminate cash put a cap on cash. 50mil in game cash (or less). Anything after that "goes into the owners pockets" and deleted from the game. However in doing that you cant punish people who have saved and to get away from them just spending it all on FA's just give every team in the league a new stadium with excellent everything and in exchange the league has to be ok with anything over x amount is deleted at the end of the year.
In conclusion, there doesn't really seem to be a problem that's getting solved here other than trying to eliminate some cash from the league which really hasn't been an issue anyway. For what its worth it would simply have the potential to create a few really big problems all for the sake of eliminating some cash. Hopefully you can follow this long post im tired and have been up awhile.
