strange releasing players

Started historical league in 1987, and got this early results

Tom Glavine had 18-12 record in 1991 season, then was released 15 april 1992 and sat out whole of 1992.
Historical he had 20-20-22 wins in 91-92-93 so he must been one of the very best. HOW COULD ATLANTA release him ?????????????
Florida picked him up when they joined the league with a payroll 2-year 10 million deal

Mark McGwire was released by Oakland 30 june 1990 with a pay off 1,5 million for 1 year contract.
Dodgers picked him up with a MINOR league contract ?????????
He had 40-23-27 HR the years before, but did drop in 1990 and released with Troy Neel covering 1B for Oakland ?????
1991 and 1992 McGwire picked up the HR rush for Dodgers with 32 and 43.

I have several other IMHO strange deals and releasing top mega players.
Should the settings be setup anything from the standard ????

OK crazy things happens (just see Greg Maddux from Cubs), but it looks odd in my eyes.
