TB donates

RF/LF Adam Eaton 237pts
2B Matt Carpenter 221pts

Basically salary dumps, but I am pretty sure some of these other "donations" are too

[Vik]

Arizona donates
Juan Lagares, LF/CF/RF - 224.12 pts

John Gant and DJ Peters have both signed in Japan for 2022. Fantrax hasn't updated accordingly, but I'm not sure we can accept them since they will be projected below 200, of not 0 once fantrax does update

I get it, I didn't realize Peter's move to KBO was official.  However, even with him going to KBO he is not the worst contract being "donated".  I think there are some other "donations" that would hurt a rebuilding team if forced to take them

I do think we need to continue to eliminate anyone that has officially signed overseas, but this is a very valid concern as well.  Many of these donations are salary dumps that likely actually make these empty teams worse off...and not only that, but the donating team not only gets out from under the bad contract, but they get something in return for it.  I think the only way these donations are worth anything is if the donating team retains the salary for the life of the contract.

Even with the large amounts of money that some teams have available, mine included, I can't imagine any team giving up anything of value for these guys...literally if I was taking over one of these teams and had a free drop or a drop at a reduced price, it would be all of these guys. 

Joey Votto making 20M through his 40 year old season
Ha-Seong Kim @ 18M for 4 more years
Adam Eaton @ 11M for 3 more years
Matt Carpenter @ 21M for 2 more years
Mike Minor already passed through waivers @ 6M, so he literally could not be given away
Garrett Richards @ 18M for 2 more years
Brand Hand @ 10M for 4 more years

To be fair Votto is only owed 10M, the rest is paid.

I think the easiest solution here is to raise the floor and lower the reward. That eliminates almost every single bad contract you just listed from being donated without ruining the overall scheme.

1000+ 1st round supplemental pick + 1M Int. Funds
800-999 2nd round supplemental pick + 500k Int. Funds
600-800 3rd round supplemental pick + 250k Int. Funds
300-600 150k Int. Funds
0-300 not eligible for donation.
