Free Agents Disappearing / Demotion Problem ?

Every year, I start the game in 1871 and game that drafts historical players from all eras every season.

This year, in 1883, the AI released some of the best players - Larry Doby, Ernie Banks, Ricky Henderson, Glenallen Hill, etc. Only they don't show up as free agents. When I search their names out, I'm not able to sign them.

That same year, when I tried to demote certain players, I'd get a message saying "the player cannot be put on that team because he does not match the rules for the AAA Columbus Clippers."

As for the free agents, I began cloning them, then deleting the original player, which put them in the free agent pool. When I wanted to demote a player, I would use the editor to put them on the minor league teams. But now its 1886, and I can't clone the star players who are being released.

Did I come across a bug in the game, or am I missing something with the rules?
