You are correct it is the same... I misread his contract on your roster page when I looked.  It will clear the 1M in cap space for you.

No problem

sanches and breslow should be allowed to be signed because they are prospects...

Thats what I thought... If I can re-sign them, I would drop someone else

They could be re-signed to prospect extensions of 5a years at a minimum of 4m. They can't however be signed to a one or two year 0.5m deal. Only prospect extensions on prospects are allowed after the season ends.

"Any player who is currently under a prospect contract may be signed to a regular contract extension (see below), but they may also be signed to a prospect extension. "

Ok. After reading over the rules, I would like to re-sign P Breslow, Craig, $0.5m (P-2011)   ---------> P Breslow, Craig, $0.5m (2012)   and drop P Devine, Joey, $0.5m (P-2011) + P Sanches, Brian, $0.5m (P-2011) to get under the cap

"Any player who is currently under a prospect contract may be signed to a regular contract extension (see below), but they may also be signed to a prospect extension. "

The following is from the rules regarding prospect extensions.

Prospect Extension (went into effect after 2010 season)
Any player who is currently under a prospect contract may be signed to a regular contract extension (see below), but they may also be signed to a prospect extension.  Such an extension must be a 5-year deal where the annual salary is X% of their market value.  The resulting annual salary must be no less than $4m.  No matter what the current prospect contract is, the prospect extension kicks in the following year at the rate based on when the contract is given.

For the 20XX season, the following percentages would be used per prospect status.

20XX - 60%
20XX+1 - 50%
20XX+2 - 40%
20XX+3, n/a - 30%

There is a window after the season in which the multipliers above are still in effect.  This was a rule effective June 16th, 2011 for expiring prospect contracts.  Prospect extensions on expired prospect contracts will be the only type of extensions allowable for expired contracts in the offseason.  Therefore, after the 2011 regular season is over, a P-2011 contract is still eligible for the prospect extension at the 2011 rate.  This window for prospect extensions is open until one week prior to the beginning of offseason free agency.

[shooter47]

The wording under the prospect extension states that the only type of extension in the offseason is a prospect extension on a prospect contract.  Even though they are on expired prospect contracts they can't be extended on regular contracts.  They would need to be prospect extensions.

[Paul S.]

Since the Marlins missed the deadline for regular extensions Breslow can only be signed to a prospect extension of $4m (2016).  Someone from the RC might need to verify that that was the intent of the rule change.

[Dan Wood]

The way I view it is the extra two weeks is to extend your prospects, either to a regular extension or a prospect extension. And that is the way the rule is worded. So if someone else from the RC would like to chime in please do so.
