Although, that doesn't happen IRL too - guys getting non-tendered and signed to a minor league contract. So maybe that's not so much a bug after all.
It's amazing how each person's leagues seem to manifest different "quirks" or bugs. I guess that's what happens when there are so many possible ways to play the game.
That did make me think of one thing - in my historical league, there's a premium on position player free agents. Anytime a computer AI team releases a position player, some other AI team will immediately sign the player to a minor league contract before I even have a chance to make an offer. This means that the only way I can acquire position players during the season is to trade or make a waiver claim. It's kind of annoying - there should at least be a one-day wait period after the player is released before a player can sign with a new team.
Meanwhile, our FA pool is filled with servicable pitchers who may spend the whole year unsigned. I had two underperforming MRs on my team, so I just sent them to the minors and signed two FA MRs waiting for jobs. I wonder if this is a phenomenon specific to my league or if a lot of others have this scenario as well.
