Francisco Mejia just signed a $75m deal out of minor league free agency with no service time. Four days later he was claimed from waivers by another team. The team that originally signed him did not have a full 40 man roster.

There seems to be a handful of top prospects that the AI refuses to call up no matter what. They all have 0 days of service time and have all been passed around the league through waivers and rule 5. I can't peek at real ratings but I am certain their scouted ratings are fairly accurate. They've all torn up every level over multiple full seasons and their ratings have been stable.

My only non-default league settings are:

- checked disable right to refuse assignment
- checked block fictional player from reaching majors (not sure if this affects modern day MLB leagues)
- checked allow draft pick trading and trading of recently drafted players.

Mejia's contract suggests he's being properly valued in FA at least. This does not happen to every top prospect. I'm guessing it has something to do with GM or manager tendencies?
