Was this right after the draft?
What are your minor league roster sizes?

Roster sizes had not changed, no. The draft is still a couple of months away at least.
This league runs a 50-man roster instead of a 40-man roster, and each team has 30 active rather than 25. Each division has one extra team over what the MLB has (in other words, the AL West has Texas, Oakland, Anaheim, Seattle and Houston, plus a team in San Antonio). So there are 36 teams in the league.
Nothing was changed in regards to minor league setup, either. I just loaded the game and bam, there it was. I just happened to get a storyline-style email telling me that the Marlins had waived this guy and he was upset about it, so I pull up the transaction log and it was so big that it had to open in an external browser. There I was greeted by 432 waiver wire designations in addition to the usual transaction list.
I'm trying to recall whether this same thing happened last year, and I believe I remember it happening then, too, just on a much smaller scale (i.e., about 4 waivers per team, but no top-line prospects).
