It’s pretty remarkable that not only does SCEA release in-depth roster updates weekly (attributes, trades, injuries, signings) but that they even go to the extent of doing so during spring training. These are transactions that generally would’ve been ignored and deemed unimportant considering the time of year with the first significant update usually being the one for opening day.
