Minor League Free Agents Signed/Released Same Day

Does anyone else get this issue where a team will sign a minor league free agent and then release them the same day?

Example:
Kingston Slammers: Signed free agent SS Lucas Chauvin to a minor league contract with a $55,000 signing bonus.
Kingston Slammers: Released SS Lucas Chauvin.

On top of this issue, all of a sudden computer teams have started signing them with a signing bonus. This hasn't happened much, if at all, until this season (the signing bonus thing, the sign/release happens every year). We're 14 seasons into an online league and I'm just curious if anyone else notices things like this happening and if so do you know how to correct it?

The above example is just one, sometimes teams will sign 10 players and release 10 others, then the next day do the same thing. They're all garbage players but it's clogging up my transaction logs haha!

Do you have any roster limits in terms of size, age limits or service time?

We do have 3 minor league teams, AAA, AA and A, with roster limits of 30 on AAA and AA and 40 for A.

I can see why that would cause the issue but shouldn't the computer take into account the fact that it's roster is full?

This signing bonus thing is really getting on my nerves. This sign/release has been happening for a while but I've ignored it until now. Dude is going to make a million bucks getting signed and released every couple of days.

Unfortunately the AI doesn't handle certain roster limits very well. I've never used that minor league setup, so I don't have suggestions other than to play around with your limits to see if you can get it to stop.

Alright sounds good. Maybe I'll post it in the bug forums to let them know it's happening with the expectation that it may not get fixed right away or ever.

Thanks for the insight!

This has been an occasional issue for people going back at least a couple versions, so the devs are definitely aware of it. Not sure there is or ever will be a true fix, but you may get some more detailed help in the bug forum.

I think the bonus was added recently because same thing happened in my League so many people got picked up with bonus, which so many people at once I haven't seen before.
