Position players becoming catcher in their late 30's

I am about 6-7 years in a save, and Bryce Harper and George Springer have both converted to catchers in the tail end of their careers. Harper at 39, and Springer at 41. This just isn't too realistic and Im wondering if anyone has had similar issues as well.

Just curious—are they any good as a catcher?

I've got a similar problem. Players like Yordan, J-Ram, James Wood, Augustin Ramirez, Tyler Stephenson, and other players are automatically put at 1B despite not having 1B as a secondary. It's happening all around the league and it's ruining my immersion. I've had to stop my White Sox save because of it. I took over following the 2025 season after winning the KBO, and am in 2026 now. This has kind of happened in my historical save with George Van Haltren and Ed Delahanty, but honestly it's fine for them.

For those seeing the 1B thing, mention the age that this is happening to the player. Just thinking about this in a game context, I'd guess either aging is crashing the OF defense too hard, too early and seeing their offensive potential intact, the AI (rightly) wants them in the line-up and so trains them at 1B. Or it is just an AI logic issue and the OF defense is fine but the game is prioritizing an incrementally better defender and that is having the same practical effect.

My fav is checking out the 2028 Astros and seeing 5'6" Altuve as their regular first baseman. Don't they know 5'6" people shouldn't play MLB 1B? So not only is age a factor but also size.

This is coming with base 2025 rosters, so everyone's either the same age or a year older than they're now. Found the bug in April 2026, BTW. Would assume it happens in base 2025 game start controlling MLB team.
