Error deleting a field that was created through a migration

Description

When trying to delete field I created through a migration, the following error is thrown:

Argument 2 passed to craft\services\Fields::applyFieldSave() must be of the type array, null given, called in /Users/jhenckens/Sites/vigwec3/vendor/craftcms/cms/src/services/Fields.php on line 826

When I try to validate the field no errors are shown and I can use it like any other field.
I'm creating the field like this:

$latitude = new PlainText();
$latitude->handle = 'latitude';
$latitude->name = 'Latitude';
$latitude->groupId = 2;
Craft::$app->getFields()->saveField($latitude);

Deleting a field that was created through the CP works.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a field through a migration
2. Try to delete that same field
