Delayed loss in fan interest

End of the 2012 season one of my better pitchers, Bing-zhong Zhou, is up for free agency. He wants way more than my Tiny market can bear, so I don't even attempt to resign him. For a variety of reasons he doesn't sign with anyone for a long time. Finally on June 23rd, 2013 he's inked to a deal by the Braves, in another league.

I get this message:
"The reactions by the fans to the loss of B. Zhou are terrible!
The overall fan interest decreases by a lot!"

So... we're in first place, having a heck of a season, sitting at 49-28. A pitcher we didn't even attempt to resign eight months ago finally signs and my fan interest craters? Sorry, but this doesn't make much sense.
