This happens any time, when in Commissioner mode, you change a player's team in the Editor, if the player is on a 40-man roster. The player will be removed from (in this example) the Cubs' 25-man, but will stay on the Cubs' 40-man, and also be added to the Pirates' 25 and 40-man. The player is not duplicated; he's only taking up 40-man roster spots on two teams. It's certainly a bug.

It is fixable, though not via the Editor; you can't just reassign the guy to the Pirates, because then he'll still be on the Cubs 40-man. I *think* the following works (at least, if I recall correctly, this is how I eventually was able to fix the problem- I'll check later): in Commish mode, Act As the Cubs. Carry out the trade in reverse. Normal trading correctly clears guys from their old 40-man roster spot and assigns them to their new team, and if I recall correctly, players won't take up two 40-man roster spots on the same 40-man roster. Then you can carry out the trade again, in 'Act As' mode, or release the players first from their original teams before assigning them to new squads via the Editor.
