Computer dropped all-star player after trading for them

Aumakua · 03-28-2017, 11:02 AM

in my semi-fictional league, I traded a fictional 4 time cy-young winner (33 years old, still in prime) for a 20 year old Dizzy Dean, also have the computer $10,000 cash and another decent pitcher.

a day later the computer released both players they just got from the trade??? no salary cap or cash issues...

I manually went in and added both players to their team again, they kept them after that.

This is a serious problem, I just made another trade, and all the players involved were dropped and became free agents (including the player I traded for), I am GM but don't move around players, so Assistant GM dropped him I guess.

these were all good players that neither team would ever drop.

Got reserve roster limits on? That can cause bizarre releases.

One thing to check for in this situation is that teams don't have the "prevent AI from making moves" flag. That can cause players to be released as the AI does not set their rosters.
