I'm not sure if it started from when I took over and I just failed to notice it, or if it was related to getting promoted this current offseason, but now several contracts for veterans are on auto renew. I traded for a player who's contract ran out at the end of that season, and in the offseason it was suddenly an auto renewing contract.
He had been in the league for 20 years so it was a shock to me. I'd have never traded for him if I knew his contract was going to eat up around 55% of my payroll the next few years.
I'm not sure what caused this. Has anyone else experienced this in a Pro/Rel league? Or in any other scenario? Can you think of any league (or association) settings that could have resulted in this?
Could it be he's a "foreign" player by some designation and he becomes auto renewing at the end of his current contract in his "current league?"
Edit: Now I see guys in their mid to late 30's having auto renew and arb eligible all over the place.

Looks like your service years are out of whack. I had a pro rel league for years and years and never had that problem. You need to make sure that the service years are not reset if he switches leagues
