a random talent change can occur... probably small percentage at each 'step' in the development (e.g. despite our choices for scouting updates, if you turn it to 100% you'll see it updates ratings weekly or some specific amount of time).

it might be part of "handle success" personality rating... multiple factors can create a 'push' in a general direction, but the opposite can still happen even when that is the case. definitely play the odds, of course

it's also possible the scout is wrong and the guy is just having a bad year. since you have 3 years of track record, i'd be willing to give the guy a leash if he isn't approaching 30... i don't keep those guys around long, but each to their own.

several players? check leage-wide stats at the end of the season... if the slash and resulting era is lower than your league historically has, then it could just be a down time-period for talent. if you don't like that, you cna click auto-calc in League Settings->Stats and AI on the right side for your league total modifiers. do it once 25-man rosters are set - opening day before any games have started. it's safe to do any MiL leagues that start around ML opening day.

if you don't click auto-calc often, i'd look at that recent history since you last clicked... after you click auto-calc, if you think the current league is too far from 'average' then make an additional conservative adjustment to the corresponding LTM.
