In our online league Extra Innings Baseball, we are running into trouble where players on the 40 man roster optioned to the minors prior to spring training are ending up with major league contracts.

This season, I tried having teams get down to 25 one day prior to Opening Day. The problem still occurred.

However, the most puzzling thing is this: I have edited all those contracts back to minor league contracts, and during the sim they revert to major league minimum contracts.

I would understand reasons for OOTP to change, so that minor leaguers on the 40 man would receive the major league minimum salary, but that can't be the explanation, because it is not happening in my other leagues.

And, in any case, why would editing the contracts of players in the minor leagues not "stick"?

Anyone able to supply any insights as to what might be happening, or how to solve the problem?
