They finally made a change in the last patch or two to help the AI be more aggressive in releasing older non-prospects. This change was a long time coming and very necessary.

However, the change went too far the other way. On opening day the AI releases almost every old minor leaguer, leaving no backup for the MLB club, and then it gets into this crazy cycle of singing and releasing MiLB players that are mostly in the 26-34 age range every single day. The problems are obvious when looking at the complete transaction log.

The problem is also notorious for anyone who manages their minor league rosters. Before this last patch, it was common for human players to have crazy losing records in their minor leagues, because the other teams would be full of old non-prospects. Since the last patch my minor league teams are dominating, because the other teams went too far in cutting old players and the remaining guys get promoted too fast to compensate.
