@StinkyMcPooter_XBL ah. did you previously DFA them? or were they on minor league deals to begin with? if they were previously DFA'd it kind of makes sense. IRL a player with 5 years of service time can reject the outright assignment to AAA, leaving you no choice but to release them. and they're guaranteed their full salary.

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL Do you have anyone on the IL? I've seen this occur in spring training before when a player hits the IL. it'll promote somebody who is not on the 40 man roster to the majors to take their place. Since IRL, anybody in the organization can appear in Spring Training games, there's nothing wrong about that. It just seems bizarre since the game typically only allows players on the 40 man to participate in Spring Training. Which is wrong and I've long wished they'd change. In any case, once the regular season starts it returns those non-40 man players to the minors.

@polkrout_xbl I don't know about Wantz but Alzolay and Staumont were injured the entirety of last year plus aren't on a 40 man roster so they're presumed dead or something and left out. Happens every year to some guys in that category. I've read the claim that it's a licensing thing but I'm not sure.

Patrick Wisdom and Christian Bethancourt are two other guys who are VERY MUCH ALIVE but did not make an MLB appearance last season and are missing, also. Although Wisdom's contract was just selected by the Mariners so he'll presumably reappear in Friday's roster update.

ORDER HAS BEEN RESTORED TO THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM!

I just pretend they're in the Arizona Complex League since it's kind of mystery who is on those rosters and what happens there anyway

I have amassed a collection of calendars and time keeping devices. If @sds_joek_psn does not give us an update by noon tomorrow A CASIO WATCH WILL DIE.

@sds_joek_psn oh no! this scheduling bug is affecting my ability to buy stubs!

@SDS can anyone give us an update on this, whether it will be in the next patch, whether it remains a mystery...just anything?

Being unable to trade a player who just signed a contract is an agreed upon rule between MLB and the Player's union. I believe they become tradable June 1st, at least in real life.

I've been hoping @sds_joek_psn would at least "keep us posted" like he said he would 8 days ago. Meanwhile, humankind has launched a crew into space, they have orbited the moon, and they may even return safely to earth before we get any kind of news on this.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN any update on this?
