I need to be able to prevent this override, without having to toggle off AI control over all teams (other than human managers). Can I do this through the lock box?
Is there a way to have a human manager for more than one (but less than all 30) major league teams? For instance, though not managing Pittsburgh, I’d like for the PIrates to be competitive. What if I simply add to their budget for free agents and trades for high-salaried players? That promotes parity, and provides a fascinating “what if” in this era of haves and have-not teams. I understand in Commissioner mode I can act as GM for the other teams; but how do I prevent the AI from ruining my efforts, when control is restored?

This is devolving into a weird power struggle. Even after I chose to prevent AI control over rosters completely, the next day I found that the Orioles had demoted Cedric Mullins (their best hitter) and John Means (their best pitcher) to AAA Norfolk. I quickly returned them to Baltimore, and demoted their (unqualified) replacements. This has now happened every day for the past week of play. Several of the various replacements had no options left, so they had to be DFA and released. I made a few trades, and found the traded players were immediately released by AI. I had to manually place them back on the Orioles with new contracts. I tried the player strategy settings to keep the player on the team; but they are ignored. I suppose I should file a bug report instead. This is not “user error”. Has anyone else had a similar problem??
