Kind of bothersome...

One thing I have noticed after just completing my 3rd full season is that the majority of teams are letting go of all of their Allstar players to free agency. In understand it's going to happen on occasion but in my franchise I feel too many stars are hitting free agency. The Tigers for example let. Verlamder AND Cabrera walk... Atlanta let Heyward walk, tons of starting pitchers tested the waters... Some of these teams seem to have HORRENDOUS A.I. ... Tigers again for example made it to the World Series in my first season and completely fell to the bottom of the barrel the season there after. When they really are set up to contend for the next 3-5 years realistically. I love this game but it's kind of fustrating seeing all these 5*star players never getting resigned. Anyone else notice this or feel the same way?

I have the opposite problem. There are hardly ever any real impact free agents available. The only ones I can bid on are the 38 year olds who will never hold up for any decent time. Very occasionally there will be a youngish guy available, but when there is, the price gets driven up so rapidly, it'll eat 1/6 of my cap to sign them.
