FYI, this is just a note to make sure you review how much cap space you have when doing transactions. This is the first transaction that has received some bidding. All bids are in terms of annual salary, and you do not have decide how many years (1 to 5) the contract is until you win a bid. Bids are final when they have been open for 24 hours.

$0.5m

I am releasing the following players to make room for Matt Joyce and Adam Kennedy.

Brandon Moss
Craig Hansen
Eric Hacker

All of the released players are prospects and cause no hit to my cap. I now have one empty spot on the roster.

Franchise GM: Clarifications & Discussion / Contract Buyout

« on: July 13, 2009, 04:01:19 PM »

Should we add a rule to allow teams to buyout a player's contract with the following stipulations?

Adds up the rest of the contract into one lump sum, therefore eliminating future years (and salary) of contract.
That lump sum is increased by some percentage (call it a buyout tax)
This amount does not count as player's annual salary. It falls under other expenses, so that it will not affect a team's cap in the following year.
Total expenses must fall under salary cap

I looked at Mike Mazzetti's, GM of the Dodgers, numbers, and the Dodgers will owe Andruw Jones money for the next five years. I thought some option to wrap up those cap hits should be available (at a premium of course).
