Phil’s upbid on Donovan is insufficient. Must be a minimum of 100k per year.

The bid is correct. I raised the bid by $100,000 per year (exactly 5% in this case) for a total of $300,000 more over the three years.

Section 10.04 BIDDING: In order to obtain a free agent a team must bid more money per year AND at least match the years of the previous leading bid, OR must match the annual salary AND exceed the years offered in the preceding best offer (making sure to meet salary minimums for years offered). The dollar amounts of bids must increase by a minimum of $100,000 or 5% per year more than the previous bid, whichever is higher. The dollar bid does not have to increase if the years offered are increased. Teams can offer an "option" year, which counts as 0.5 of a year when deciding what team gets a player.
