Yeah, the person I reported it for said the player never appeared on the arb screen as being available to negotiate with. It seems it could possibly lie somewhere within the option where international free agents become free agents (or not) after contracts expire. Although they did just leave the setting default. Kay did enter the league through the MLB draft but he also played in Japan and then returned to the MLB so the idea popped into my head maybe it was related to that somehow? Zero clue. Lol
