How does that happen? - when it moves anyone off the 40-Man (which means off the Active Roster in its case). I found that I can, however, drag and drop my own players from the Active Roster to the AAA club without having to pass through waivers. My recollection, although I did not test it in this series, is that if I use the right-click menu to move the transaction through I will be prompted to put him on waivers.

So the human user can use his 40-man roster properly, and demote players from the majors to the minors without waiving them, no matter what method is used.
Players on the 40-man roster who are removed from that roster have to pass through waivers, regardless of whether or not they have a major league contract. This works correctly for both the AI and the human user. The problem is that the AI is unnecessarily throwing players off of its 40-man roster.
The question is: why is the AI keeping its 40-man roster at 25 players? What settings are causing this? I'll need to create a few more leagues to find out.
