All minor league signings now include a bonus

Since the last patch, all minor league signings in my league now include a bonus, usually in the range of $40K-60K. It doesn't matter what the quality of the player is. Even guys who have never played in the big leagues and have no chance to get there are getting these bonuses. This is happening in a league that was started as the MLB quickstart a few versions ago and is now in 2037. Before the last patch, I would see maybe a handful of minor league deals with a bonus during the offseason and spring training, usually given to guys who had previously been on a big league roster. Now, every single minor league signing (except my own) includes a bonus.

This is related to the issue mentioned in this post. It's messing with the financials in Neags23's game because the sign and release issue is also affecting his game. That's causing teams to spend a lot of money for nothing. I think his sign and release issue is separate from the bonuses bug, but combined they are making a mess of his game.

Curious to know if anyone else is seeing the bonuses given to every minor league free agent.

Yes, I too am seeing this. The worst part with my league is that they sign them for 55k then immediately release them then sign then again the next day for the same amount just to release them again. Super annoying!

If the devs need my files or any other info in order to squash this bug please let me know and I'll be happy to help out.
