Dilapidated Roster Database

[TrapperJohn]

Very excited to begin a post-deadline live start today; bummed to discover that yesterday's flurry of transactions are not yet reflected. No big deal — it's been less than 24 hours, after all.

More concerning is that when I opened a new live start game this morning, I find Matt Dermody in the Red Sox rotation (out of the org as of 6/9, nearly two months ago) and Raimel Tapia in the starting lineup (he's been a Brewer for more than a month and a half).

I understand that the OOTP team relies on an external database of some sort for transactions, et al. But if that database is routinely failing to reflect months-old roster changes, it kills immersion and negates much of the value of the live start feature.

I'm curious: what is this roster database? Does it have other responsibilities beyond logging MLB roster news, such that it gets distracted and neglects to pay attention? Is it going through some personal things? No shade to the OOTP team — y'all do great work — but this resource you're counting on to maintain the integrity of real-life rosters is letting you down in a big way.

That doesnt seem quite right. I do know when I live started a few weeks ago Tapia was on the Brewers since then the Brewers called up Frelick he was waived and elected FA when clearing.
