Jake Odorizzi (P, MIL)He's in the Brewers system, can I add him without bidding?
Brewers: $0.5M(and I guess the 72-hour clock starts now, rather than anything based off the previous posts)
- Any player dropped before the trade deadline still has part of his contract count against the cap in the following manner: Current year: 90%, Next year: 60%, All future years after: 30%.- If the player is dropped after the trade deadline, then the hit to the cap changes to 75%, 50%, 25%, respectively.- The hit against the cap is rounded to the nearest $500,000. Therefore, if it ends up being less than $250,000, the hit to the cap will be zero for that year.
Assuming I have correctly interpreted the Release Rule (can't afford to use the new Contract Buyout clause), we'll release Suppan.Jeff Suppan - $10.5M, 2010, released after the trade deadline, cap hit is 75/50 for 2009/20102009: 10.5*0.75=7.875~8.0 (savings of 2.5M)2010: 10.5*0.50=5.250~5.5 (savings of 5.0M)
