Had this very annoying bug.

A player with options was injured toward the end of spring training. I tried to demote to AAA, but was not allowed. The message said to place the player on the disabled list instead. I placed onto the 15 day DL. When the player's DL time was up I attempted to assign to AAA, but was not allowed. It said that the player had to go through waivers. That's not right is it? He wouldn't have had to go through waivers if he hadn't been hurt, he would have just burned an option year.

To make matters worse I then chose to DFA the player with a revocable waiver. Another team claimed him. I tried to pull him back but couldn't, the message said a player couldn't be removed from DFA until the waiver period had expired.

To get around it I demoted another player from active roster to make room, promoted the player to the active roster, then demoted him and repromoted the other player. This burned an option year on that player which I shouldn't have needed to do, gave the player I wanted to option to AAA a ML contract, and ruined the morale of both players.

Here's the players service time as of 2 days after this whole fiasco:

ML Service Time: 0 years 6 days.
ML Service Time this year: 6 days.
Time on Secondary Roster: 1 year 6 days.
Time as professional: 5 years 8 days.
Rule 5: Protected (on secondary roster)
Option years: 1 left
Salary Arb: not eligible.
