Marlins are making this trade to free up almost $7M in cap room for this year.  Lose some draft picks but pick up a RP and a prospect I like.

"Wait. Rivera is retired? This changes everything!"

Red Sox make this deal to acquire decent picks as well as a veteran outfielder on 3/4 scholarship for this year to help fill out my roster, which is thin in outfielders. Low payroll I can afford Rivera. Thanks to the Marlins!

As long as you're going to pay that $6.5 million salary then I have no problem with it otherwise it amounts to fraud and I'll have to veto.

The Red Sox have to pay the $6.5M.  Any team that signs someone and the player retires is still responsible for the contract.  We do not have a retirement clause, so the Red Sox are responsible for the remainder of the deal as long as the trade is approved.

I don't see that stipulated in the rules anywhere but if that's the case then I have no problem with it.

Yes there is no retirement clause. This limits ridiculous contracts for older players.

What's the issue? I'm paying for Rivera's retirement, that was the whole point of the trade for the Marlins (or most of it).

Fantrax done, Mariano Rivera is not on Fantrax any longer, so a roster spot will need to be left open for him on Boston's roster.
