Some players on 'auto renew' contracts being shown on the upcoming FA lists

mikezone13 · 06-03-2016, 10:17 PM

As the title says, some, not all, players who have auto-renew contracts are shown on the upcoming FA team page as are players who are abr eligible .

See attached screenshots (e.g. Trevor Raw is arb eligible for 2 more seasons yet is listed on the upcoming FA page as is Brad Edwards who is auto-renew for the upcoming season and then arb eligible). Both screenshots are form the day AFTER the Off-Season starts and straight after converting from 16 to 17.

Note, this league is using a season split over calendar years (i.e. starts in September and ends in March - Southern Hemisphere summer). I assume this has something to do with it.

When test simming forward to FA filing day, both Edwards and Raw became free agents, this doesn't seem right.

We are seeing this bug in the OMLB too. Hoping you guys will take notice of this especially for online leagues.

Correction. We are NOT experiencing this in the OMLB. What I saw in the teams I looked at was normal. It appears that the issue mikezone13 is seeing does have to do with the crossing of the calendar year.

This bug is all over RANZBA as well. Players show up as arb with auto-renew but then declare as FAs.

I'm not sure if it is because the "offer all minor league free agents minor league extensions" button ALSO offers minor league contracts to your arbitration players then pissing them off (Hey! That's ANOTHER bug...)

This was not a problem in 16.

From poking through the logic, it appears they are minor league free agents. Looks like the salary report never looked to see if they were minor league FA eligible, and so would (falsely) claim that they are still arb eligible.
