I went to take over the Orioles after simulating the full MLB season with a live start, starting today, the 29th. I noticed that several players show up in the search as being on the Norfolk Tides, but they are not on the roster, and they are not injured. I looked at the game logs for these players and around May 7th, the AI stops using them.
I have included screenshots for DL Hall. He is not injured, not on the Tides roster, but is on the Tides according to the search, as well as the Organization > Roster page, but he stopped pitching after May 5th. My save is currently on November 7, 2022. Similar things happened with Kyle Bradish and Ryan McKenna. I'm sure there are other examples, but I haven't looked into it enough to know how widespread it is.
One thing I noticed is that the AI makes a high volume of roster moves around the same time the players stop playing. On May 8th, 26 players were called up to Norfolk, but I don't think anyone was sent down, even though there is a roster limit. (I've also tested this without roster limits on and it still happened). I've included a screenshot of this.
Any ideas about what's going on? I uploaded my .dat files as "Missing Players.zip"
EDIT: Just realized they are all DFA'd with 0 days left, like this post
