I am more than willing to check all posted FA to make sure they are not on a roster when FA begins.

Sounds good, appreciate your help!

Updated international signing money for Astros and Pirates.  Forgot to reverse them with the name switch.

Do players in IR count against salary cap?

Do players in IR count against salary cap?

Yes, all contracts are guaranteed and count against cap even if the player is on IR or demoted.

What are the rules for moving a player from minors to majors  (and vice versa)?   Are there any repercussions for demoting a player?

Demoting a player exposes a player to waivers (48 hours) which allows any team to put a claim on the player.  If a team makes a claim, you will lose that player.  So, once you promote a player he'll have to pass through waivers to be demoted.

Can we change the money to international to keep the Soo trade from being nullified? Soo has to retire soon.

You are free to trade international money but like Chris said you can't trade salary cap unless it's attached to a player to help pay for part or all of his salary for a specific amount of time.

If you want to do a new trade with intl money feel free to post a new trade after working out details with the Padres.
