Just spitballing here...

Could it be that the color barrier was still in effect in 1945 when Robinson signed with Brooklyn per the historical transactions, meaning that the AI was thinking that Robinson was ineligible, so he was released and signed with a Negro League team?

Again, I have no idea of the timeline of when historical leagues check that box off, but it's not out of the realm of possibility it would only happen in 1947, right?

Therefore, it may be a blip in the space-time continuum where Robinson falls through the crack in the timeline.
