Too many players on minor league rosters

Hi! Thanks for all the hard work, OOTP27 is shaping up to be a great game.

Save file FTPed to you - it's called 2046 20 Years.zip

My minor league rosters have far too many players. It is April 21. From AAA down, 35 (I reduced these manually), 55 at AA, 47 at A+, 50, 65, 61. The extra players seem to be mostly RPs who squeeze out the lineup.

I have the usual settings - Assistant GM in charge of promotions etc, minor league managers in charge of signings.

It's a standard 2026 game changed over to stats only settings and simmed 20 years until 2046. 2046 played out fine, but in the 2047 season I noticed the issue described above.

One thing that may help is that I accidentally left 7-day lineups switched on for a while after Spring Training (can't see how that would be relevant but it's the only deviation from my usual routine I can think of). I had also put all of my AAA team on the Spring Training roster without freezing the Assistant GM and Minor League manager functions described above. So one possibility of what could have happened is that they signed a bunch of guys during spring training while the AAA squad was 'up in the majors' and then are unable to release them for some reason.

I did run the 'Ask AI to set up Minor league system' when I noticed this yesterday. It did reduce the rosters slightly (some levels had 70+ players beforehand) but there are still too many guys. A funny thing also is that the system is not flagging the rosters as breaching the limits, and I can progress days without it stopping the game.

Ok, I found the setting for # of players on minor league rosters and it had been set to unlimited. Can't say whether the game started like this or it happened before season #2 somehow. I've set it and run AI minor roster management so I will keep an eye on it.
