Thanks, for tending to my post. Send Samir Duenez to the minors. Retain Jabari Blash, Drew Robinson and Adam Engel. Were the players released under contracts consolidated? If so, thanks again.

No, players were Released Under Contract.

Here are their Contract Buyout amounts:

SP Estrada, Marco, $2.5m (2020)
X-Released Under Contract, $2.0m in 2019, $1.5m in 2020
Contract Buyout: $2.0m + $1.5m x 1.1% = $4.0m ($3.85m rounded up to nearest $0.5m)

SP McCarthy, Brandon, $2m (2019)
X-Released Under Contract, $2.0m in 2019
No monetary advantage to have a Contract Buyout

SP Shields, James, $2.5m (2020)
X-Released Under Contract, $2.0m in 2019, $1.5m in 2020
Contract Buyout: $2.0m + $1.5m x 1.1% = $4.0m ($3.85m rounded up to nearest $0.5m)

For future reference, is 2.250 being rounded down in the first year of each of these contract buyouts or is 1.875 being rounded up? Thanks.

Please release Jabari Blash from the minors and move Samir Duenez to the minors.

In this instance, using 90%, $2.25 is rounded down.  If the rate was 75%, then $1.875 would be rounded up.
