Arbitration Offer Acceptance Issue

Ive searched and don't see a thread with this issue...


Has anyone else had an issue with players Accepting arbitration (when you offer them the 13MM compensation) when they clearly should not?


For example...


I have a SP who had an extension offer of 7 yr 13MM/yr. After negotiating with him, I was able to drop it to 4 yr 15.75MM/yr. I still did not want to sign that contract and, instead, offered arbitration in order to receive the draft pick compensation.


Once the arbitration hearings hit....the player Accepted the 1 yr 13MM arbitration offer. Why? The player took 13MM guaranteed vs demanding over 60MM the day before?


Is this a bug? Has this been reported yet?
