With a 24-hour window to increase bids for international free agents, once the bidding for a player gets past certain thresholds, minimum raises of $.05 allows owners to "nickel and dime" the auction. Auctions for IFAs, while most of these players are years away, should still require a competitive bidding structure just like regular free agency (Section 4.1.D - Minimum salary is $.50 and all subsequent bids must increase by a minimum of 1 point ).
I would like to propose a rule change to increase the minimum bid increases for IFA auctions based on a sliding scale. The higher the auction price of an IFA increases, the minimum bid increase should increase as well.
I would propose that the minimum bid increase for IFA auctions be as follows:
For auctions at $.20 to $5.00, the minimum increase be $.10
For auctions from $5.01 to $10.00, the minimum bid increase be $.50
For auctions over $10.01, the minimum bid increase be $1.00

I feel like this is apples to oranges. In 2020 you will have 155M for your MLB roster. You are allocated 5M for IFA. 24hr clocks always get certain people jazzed up when they get outbid after 22hrs. But it's a 24hr bid not 22.
Just my 2 cents but I don't think that the goal needs to be to finish up the J2 signings within a day or 2.
