Apologies in advance if this has been discussed elsewhere, but a quick search revealed no mention...

I have a solo league. Those of you who play solo leagues know that it is darned hard to keep your eye on everything that is going on around the league(s). But in August of my second year using OOTP6 (latest version), I have now seen two of the top ten prospects in the league waived, claimed, and essentially let go for nothing. Why would this be? I have tried to see if some important roster moves were involved, but neither team was in the pennant race; and it would seem to me that you would do almost anything to avoid losing these top players. I mean, I have taught myself not to fleece the AI for prospects in trade; but now the AI is all but giving these guys away! Anybody else see this, and/or have a rationale?
