Mysterious MILB player releases

brigmcneil · 08-20-2023, 03:42 PM

I was curious if anyone has seen this or could help explain and prevent it... Yesterday our online league with daily 1-day SIM's (2023 season), had about 6 teams suddenly release 10-25 minor leaguers from their AA and AAA teams. Most were big prospects - Elly de la Cruz being the biggest. They did not show in the transactions but did have a record in the player history. All of the GM's said they did not do this and I did not see any of the guys show up as DFA's with 0 days left.

Ideas?

Thanks

Brian

This looks like nefarious behavior and NOT a bug. Four of our teams had these sudden releases and when I checked our Stats+ IP export history I saw all 4 were exported from the same IP address AND all 4 teams neglected to have team passwords. So, something else to keep an eye for.
