I would like a ruling on a player retiring and its effects on payroll. I stated my case in the parent page under "A couple of questions". I will restate it here if you want me to.
When you roll the dice folks, sometimes it comes up CRAPS!
When you sign Rich Harden and Ben Sheets to long term deals... sleepless in Seattle! Good luck with that one Chris!
I would say that if a player retires from baseball because of age or whatever personal reasons, the best option would be to allow a free release, like it would happen in the majors. Maybe a cheaper release instead of a free one, like half the going rate. However, when a player decides to play in a different country it's usually because they weren't good enough for the majors, so in that case the team should be stuck with the bad contract they gave. Likewise with injuries, it's a risk everyone is aware of when giving a large contract.
