Is this a bug other people are experiencing? Is this being addressed in new patch?

I started a 2025 season save using 26.5.66 and had the same happen. Way too many good young starting pitchers who were released by their teams for no good reason. Then I started a new save and set all minor leagues active roster sizes to "no limit" from AAA to Rookie League. Started simming and during the first week in April, decent to good young starting pitchers were again being released by various teams. And as the OP said, these were young starting pitchers drafted between 2024-2022 with a potential of 2.5 to 3 stars or a rating of 45-50. I looked under the hood at their actual ratings and they were all good.
One or two such guys being released I can understand. But there were way too many all at once at the start of the season. Frustrated, I deleted the save and am now taking a pause from this potentially great but frequently flawed game.
