To make room for Freddy Galvis on 40man, Brewers outright P Austin Adams removing him from the 40man. 

Adams will report to AAA Nashville.

To make room in AAA Nashville for Adams, the Brewers announce the retirement of IF Chris Getz.

(Q-this clears him from my salary cap immediately also, right?)

Fantraxed and Complete pending waivers.

Getz's contract is not forgiven in this league. To prevent people from signing players to long deals that are on the verge of retirement, contracts are not forgiven when a player retires.

Unconditionally release. Outright is only for players on the 40man roster.
