This question is separate from the historical free agency post I just posted.

I am ~50 games into my Expos season and all is going according to plan.

However, to see if there would be any hiccups after the season ended I simulated through the WS (don't worry I backed up to multiple sources). Upon the completion of the WS (the Cardinals won btw), initially their organizational roster included zero players whereas all other rosters remained intact. I simmed a little bit forward and the league ran an expansion draft. I had checked 'Automatically expand league' and 'Hold Expansion Draft' but, based on the manual, I did so with the understanding that doing so would result in the league expanding as MLB did in real life. However, upon completion of the expansion draft and reviewing the transaction log, the Expos and St Louis were the lone teams to draft new players via the expansion draft. I have zero idea how this happened and would appreciate any sage insights.

I simmed the 1980 season and there was no expansion draft conducted at the conclusion of that season. One thing I did notice, if I do a search for a player, two listings show. One that is listed for my saved game and another indicating that said player retired (this happens for any player I search for) and that they did not play after the 1979 season.

Another thing to take into consideration, upon advancing a couple of seasons and reviewing some rosters at the end of 1982, there appear to be duplicates of all players when doing a player search For instance, there is one Mookie Wilson that looks like the original one (came up with Mets and still on the club) and another that is on the Padres (signed a one-year contract with SD prior to 1981). Just trying to provide as much initial information as I can.

Desperately seeking some assistance here. Thank you in advance. And let me know if you need additional details.
