Contract?
Need to drop 2 players.

1 yr/ 2M deal

To make room, Casey Blake has decided to retire (no cap hit).  I have my roster at 40 by my count, I will release another player as soon as it is confirmed I need to drop more than one player.  Thanks Paul.  :toast:

The drop of Blake is all that is needed.  I believe there will still be a $2m cap hit on Blake after his retirement.  The RC may need to address this.

Indeed.  I can't remember which league this was addressed in, but the way I see it is that in real life MLB (which we try to emulate at all costs) when a player retires before their contract expires the contract then becomes void from that moment forward, thus no monies are owed.  I'll bring it up to Dan sometime today  :toast:

I don't believe that retirement in real life absolves owners of their future obligations in this league.  I am pretty sure that this has been discussed many times, and this was the conclusion that was reached every time it came up.

I've had it adequately explained to me and I am fully on board with the rules.  I had only been in the league for a couple of months at the time the discussion took place and I did not remember it when I made my post (because I didn't read it at the time as I was only worried about trying to figure out how in the heck the scoring was being computed).  That being said, I think the TC should look into making exceptions to those in the final year of a deal or one year deals.  I'll bring it up again in the off season or something.   :toast:
