I got a message I never saw before when I tried to claim Montgomery.  The player I was going to drop has a game today, but Montgomery doesn't. ( redacted the name)

Sorry, but you are unable to perform that operation.
   •   You cannot execute that transaction now, because Braden Montgomery can be claimed in an earlier period - 79 (Jun 11, 2026) - while (Name Redacted)can only be dropped/moved in period 80 (Jun 12, 2026), and your league settings do not allow a claim and drop in different periods.

So I tried another player, who happens to have a game today and got the same message.

I ended up picking another player who I did not want to drop, and does not have a game today, and I selected the send to minors option

I haven't seen this message before

Thnis was at 8 am this morning, with games starting at 1pm...
