The only reason I can think of that would happen is if you didn't offer them a contract in the offseason.
The drafted players are in the same boat. If they agreed to a contract before July 31st, they should be there the next season.
And just because you offered them a contract, doesn't mean they accepted the contract. Sometimes you can offer a kid a contract and they just don't accept and then you have to use the renew option to just give them one. Players that are renewable, you can just make them take a contract. With drafted players, they have to accept before the deadline or they will become free agents.
EDIT: Also, I should mention how to 'game' the system. If you haven't played for a while, you might not understand how contract extensions work. You might have a large budget, but for some reason you can't sign a player to an extension. This is because the game will use your next year payroll to determine how much 'room' you have. The workaround for this is to get a bunch of useless players with really high one year contracts. An example would be Anthony Rendon. He has like $35M and one year left on his contract. This will make your next year budget go up. So, trade for a couple players like that, sign your contract extensions and them let those guys become free agents.
If you do trade for a bunch of kids like you were planning, sign them to long term deals before they become good. You'll save yourself about $15M a year down the line.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL yeah I just restarted it I definitely missed smt just gonna try and be more careful this time around it was definitely a careless mistake on my end. Have to say Rockies is a lot of fun playing a moneyball style of franchise because absolutely nobody wants to go there signing.
-
I'm not gonna lie, Colorado is fun as hell just because of being in the NL West plus Coors is just as fun playing there. I can say skip the Dodgers tho. That def isn't any enjoyment.
-
@Graeves-_PSN Colorado is rly fun in the one I just did I’m in year 3or4 tho I forget and the dodgers signed elly,Yordan,Skubal. Let’s just say winning the west is wildcard
-
Update took the Rockies to the promise land in 2037. Just had to wait for the whole dodgers team to retire or get traded

Better late than never.
I like to control all 30 teams. The first thing I do is to sign all the top players to contract extensions so teams like the Dodgers can't stack their teams. 4 or 5 seasons deep, they have to rely on player development like everyone else.
-
@StinkyMcPooter_XBL my team was almost all player development hit then once we won a World Series could go sign Jesus if we wanted too.
-
TBH, even when I play just one team, I hardly ever sign free agents.
The first thing I do is trade away as much high talent as I can for low rated/high potential youngish players. I sign them to long term/low(ish) salary contracts.
Then, I suck the big one for about 3 or 4 years. Get some decent draft picks and do the same with them. After that, you've got yourself a dynasty.
-
i tried a few of the lower teams and get fired before you can properly turn it around without cheesing. the 3 year contract with very limited goals set by the CPU makes it difficult. This was another thing in franchise that was overlooked
Needed to add more goals for teams ( eg 10 more wins then last season, draft X position, etc ).
-
@easedel_MLBTS yeah make sure u turn this off or they give up on u way to quickly.
