Undrafted College Players Not Becoming Free Agents

ink625 · 06-11-2017, 05:26 PM

I have 410 players in my current draft pool that have already finished my college feeder league and are entering the draft for the second, third or fourth time when they should be free agents instead. The MLB rule states:

A player who is eligible to be selected and is passed over by every Club becomes a free agent and may sign with any Club until the player enters, or returns to, a four-year college full-time or enters, or returns to, a junior college.

I've attached a photo of a player who finished my college feeder league in 2047, it's 2050 now, that has now entered the draft for the fourth time after going undrafted three times already. It says he became a free agent after the first time he went undrafted, which would have been correct, but then he entered the draft the second time anyway. Then a third time, and now a fourth time.

I am seeing the same. Did you create your college league as an independent league with another league as fed league?

I think they are becoming free agents in the college league, even though they can't play there because of age restrictions.

No, I created my college league using the "Add Minor / Feeder League" option from the League Settings page.
