Blue Jays choose not to sign Wheeler to a contract
You would be able to do this with a Prospect Contract, but you have signed him to a regular contract, and therefore, you are responsible more the $3.3m you have placed as the winning bid. Refusing to offer him a contract in essence deciding to take back your bid, which is not allowed. We do not have “buyer’s remorse clause”.
You have a couple of choices:
1: Sign him to a contract and add him to your roster
2: Give him a contract and immediately Release Under Contract at 90/60/30.
