A lot of people forget that once you press "Finish Day" one time with standard settings it becomes a fictional world.

If you want to recreate real life and have the ratings stay the same, turn off all scouting, development, and anything that could cause randomness.

Weird things happen in baseball. Players fall off a cliff and players emerge out of nowhere.

I get that having an MLB license can make people want the world to develop in their way, but the game with default settings isn't built for that. For that to happen, you need to turn off the settings that can make those things happen.

If I'm playing a historical game and want randomness, then I can't suddenly get mad when Babe Ruth doesn't become Babe Ruth. Same with anything
current day.

Are there issues with the game? Undoubtedly. This isn't a bug, though. It's a feature.
