I am also assuming MR has nothing to do with it either.

Incidentally all the players released this way in the league (8) have the exact same # of ML service time in 2 yrs 74 days. And none of them showed up on the in game arbi screen to even offer them a contracts.

Edit: Thanks Alan for the reply as always!

There is a seperate bug that is also fixed in the next patch where in some cases a league may have more super-2 eligible players with the -exact same- service time. The game incorrectly rotated between the players daily in regards to which ones would be the super-2 eligible ones. Up to the point where you really had to check every day to make sure you didn't miss one. (which in an online league is virtually impossible).

What I have done temporarily in my online leagues to address this is until the next patch, I look for which players were released on arbitration day only. Any of those with less than 3 years of service time were super-2 players. I then just assign them a one year contract equal to the "estimated salary" on their player page and give them back to the teams.

Thankfully this is fixed in the next patch.
