I play as GM only in a fictional league. I had a LEGENDARY manager and pitching coach with whom I won four titles in nine years. Normally I extend staff contracts before they expire but this past season I forgot.

To my surprise, both of them were no longer interested. They were highly paid and very successful so I was very surprised.

I decided to promote by bench coach to manager but then I encountered a possible bug or weird situation.

I needed a few pitching coaches for Rookie, A and AA ball and was shocked to see my former pitching coach as interested in these positions. I opened up his profile and he was still uninterested in working at the major league level and was willing to take a drastic pay cut.

This didn't make sense to me so I offered him a major league salary which he accepted and then I was immediately able to transfer him to my major league team. I know other staff will reject transfers to other positions in the organization so if he was so adamant that he didn't want to work at the major league level, the transfer should have been rejected.

I still don't understand the logic behind the whole situation.
