AI teams releasing drafted players same day

Baseballman2K5 · 07-27-2025, 01:37 PM

I'm finding a lot of high potential guys in free agents after the draft and a lot of them were just drafted and released by the team the same day.

Some of them sign a minor league contract with another team and then that team releases them right after signing. Some have a history of just constantly being signed and released by the same teams

It doesn't appear to matter if there is a cap on minor league rosters or not.

Seconded. Happens to me too.

Can you upload/post a link to a league file where you see this happening?

We did find some cases of this, and it should be fixed in the next patch.

It still might be useful to get a save from folks who are seeing this though, so we can check and see if possibly those are different cases from the ones we found.

Thanks Lukas. I'm unsure how to upload a link of my league file

I'm having the same behavior. For example my 2031 third pick was released by the AI four days after accepting his signing bonus. I've sent my league, "AIDraftRelease".

We'll have a fix for this, as well as quite a lot of other development and minor league AI improvements in the next public beta patch which should be coming soon.
