I'm not sure then you're talking about the same issue as what's in this thread. It "sounds" like (though I may be wrong) that you're basically talking about an AI issue where the AI signs and releases players for no apparent reason and yes, this has been around... forever... but doesn't usually involve top notch, superstar type players.
The bug being discussed in this thread (and others) is regarding players that are aquired (either through trade or free agent signing), including top of the line players, that are released EXACTLY 10 days after being acquired... thus leading me to surmise it's something to do with the DFA list. Either upon acquisition they're being placed on the DFA instead of the regular roster or the AI "thinks" they've been placed on the DFA instead of the regular roster... note how this reliever DIDN'T PLAY despite being signed five times, which is an indication he wasn't placed on the active roster... and thus at the end of the 10 day DFA period they're being released.
Or, you know, I've totally misunderstood what's been discussed regarding this particular bug. Which, to be honest, is the most likely answer.
