Where are the Minor League FAs?

I am so confused... So now we have minor league free agents or something, how do they get signed to the teams now? I cannot find ANY of my Minor League Free Agents, they are not in the free agents screen.

They are most likely in the amatuer draft pool. I don't know how to get them out...

There are a couple of threads detailing this bug that popped up with 6.10. Basically, minor league free agents (and released players)* who have no MLB stats are being dumped into the amateur draft pool instead of the free agent pool.

* = Possibly just players under age 30 also, but I'm not 100% sure of it

If you go to League Setup > Edit Free Agents, you should be able to see them. Getting them back into free agency is another story. The JOBL just had the luxury of experiencing this with 6.1 and we haven’t gotten to the end of FA, so I’m not sure where they end up going. I would suspect to the free agency pool after off-season free agency is completed, but not sure.

Anyone have any experience with this happening after your Ammy draft is done? Do they show up in the next year's draft or the free agency pool after off-season free agency? Or disappear for good?

No experience yet (haven't gotten to my June draft yet), but normally, everybody on the draft list who isn't drafted becomes a free agent, so I'd guess they'd all end up in free agency. It wouldn't be a total shock if the same players ended up the draft pool the next year, though, if they didn't make it to the majors that year either.

Thanks guys, I was able to find them in the setup screen.. I guess it isnt all bad theyre in the draft, but theyre not in the free agent pool any more... that stinks. Is this everyones game doin this? Or only a select few people? I hope this gets fixed soon along with the other few issues that popped up with the new patch.
