And the wildest thing is, nobody claimed him! I didn't claim him because it's unrealistic, but none of the other teams did either.

The Dodgers AI also DFAed Trayce Thompson when he had 1.1 WAR. You can kind of squint at their roster and see why they would get rid of a 55/55 player, but shouldn't they try and trade him first?

48/33/14/5 AI eval ratings, with hard mode and neutral favor set.
You have to remember that the roster management AI is handling something that is extremely complex, so 'brain farts' like these are bound to happen from time to time unfortunately. I have to say that I don't see crazy DFAs like these in my saves though.

If you run a league with standard settings and are seeing great players DFAd more than occasionally, it may be worth it to make a bug report.
