Gehrig Retires right after draft
I'm using historical minors with draft. In 1922, Lou Gehrig as expected was the first round pick by the Boston Braves. However, in early January he become a minor league free agent and retired. I do not have the advanced signing option turned on so in theory he should just sign a contract.
Bug or just a side effect of the historical minors with no real minor league teams in 1923? It seems like all of the other top draftees remained on the team that drafted them.
