I'm playing 6.5 if that makes a difference.

I just simmed in my season for a bit and then I noticed a really good player had switched teams so I went to see if it had been a trade or what not and there was nothing. Somehow he went from being on the Padres, never released, and then was signed by the White Sox....

This is copied right out of his player file:

Signed as a free agent by San Diego on 1/31/2018 to a 4-year deal worth $10,760,000 per year...
Won World Series with San Diego in 2018...
Won Pitcher of the Month award on 5/1/2020, going 5-1, 0.62...
Was selected to the 2020 Allstar game...
Signed as a free agent by Chicago (A) on 7/18/2020 to a 1-year deal worth $3,896,000 per year...
8/1/2020: Signed a contract extension with Chicago (A), $9,500,000 per year, for 4 years.

The All-Star game was a few days before he signed with the White Sox so maybe they had something to do with it?

Any ever seen something like this?

Thanks...
