A number of current MLB coaches/GM's are in the game as retired and cannot be unretired unless you recreate them. An example is Omar Minaya who I wanted to use as the GM for my expansion Montreal Expos. He wasn't in the Free Agent list so I searched for him and found him as 'retired'. I used the editor and made him the GM of the Expos and he was still listed as retired despite having a job, valid contract.

Since then I have deleted him and recreated him but this then meant he had 21yrs of experience but was created with a reputation of unproven or inexperienced. Another example is Tom Goodwin the current Mets first base coach who is listed as retired as well. Again I can delete him and go to his player listing and unretire him and make him a coach but again he loses his reputation value and becomes inexperienced or unproven. There are a number other coaches and GM's in the game like this.

Could all coaches/gm's/managers who are currently in the MLB or have been recently (may have been fired for example) be made free agents instead of retired in the next update.

** Additional bit of Info - I assigned Minaya to the Expos in Commish mode using the editor but it still lists him on his profile page as Team Montreal Expos Current Job Retired and having no contract. On the Front Office Personnel Screen it says he has a 1 year Contract with a salary of $500,000 with the Expos **
