I do think there is more minor league transaction turmoil than in the past. I've wondered if that is due to the development team trying to improve how teams build their minor league clubs? IE with the new "improved coding" the minor league clubs are "always looking" to improve (maybe every day?) and making changes that are marginally better at best. This is only SPECULATION on my part, but if true perhaps computer teams could be coded to be less likely to make marginal improvements? Instead be "happy" with the team they have built unless something MUCH better comes along? Minor league management, IIRC, was listed as being something they worked a lot on for v26. Like any coding I'm sure it will be improved on year to year.

Starting my second season I need to add to my quoted post.
My first season was started shortly after release so the game was probably only on patch two or three. I was not seeing the type of sign and release described in this thread. However as I am starting season two I am seeing the type of sign and release described here at the minor league level.
Tons of signings during ST, which I could write off as invite to camp, doesn't impress, and released. Might not look great on a player's history but in my mind acceptable if rosters settled down once the season started. 15 games into my new season and hitting mid-April and the "all transactions" report is showing rosters are not "settling" and the daily report is still huge. Just pulling one day and comparing season one to season two..
April 18, 2047: 17 transactions, 6 MiLB signings, 5 releases. The other 6 are same as 2048, ie putting on IL or international signings.
April 18, 2048: 63 transactions, 22 MiLB signings, 35 releases. The other 6 are putting on IL or signing discovered international players. This is not a one day happening, but is consistent on a day to day basis.
Interesting both seasons show consistency with 6 misc. transactions. While MiLB sign and release ballooned. Something must have happened in one of the late patches. I had completed most of my season before the last two or three patches were released and installed by Steam in my game.
My August 2047 transactions (pre late patches) show normal flow and are comparable to my August 2046 transactions that come from v25 imported game. My Sept 2047 transactions did balloon and were post patch.
Matt posted somewhere they are looking at one more patch. This is something that is now way off and needs to be fixed and at least rolled back to previous levels.
