Since patch 2 I have been able to release players directly without them clearing waiver and they just go directly to the FA pool. This is not correct since players need to clear waivers before they can be released.

This is normally not a problem since I can just make sure I do it correctly and wait for the player to clear waivers before I release him. However, in the case of a player who has the right to refuse a minor league assignment I ran into the following problem. I tried to demote him to my AAA team but he refused assignment. I put him on waivers and when I tried to put him on the DFA list I got back the message "player refuses to be assigned". The player has no right to do this; he can refuse assignment but he cannot refuse to be placed on the DFA list. In order to free up his roster spot I had to release him directly without him clearing waivers.
